Chapter 20 Control of Fangchenggang
Hu Lin didn't expect that these daily chemicals would be used by Bismarck just a few days after they were given to Hansen, it seems that the charm of these things is not small, and it is enough as a tribute.
"I didn't expect His Excellency Bismarck to be a user of our Dahua, and I hope we have more opportunities for cooperation. Then I completely agree with Your Excellency's exchange method, but I haven't occupied Fangchenggang here yet, and the battleship will fly your flag for training first. ”
Hulin agreed, in his own weak situation, it was already very good to be able to give such a condition, it seems that a Bismarck must have other technical drawings here.
"Then Mr. Hu took this place earlier, I can build you more warships, oh, let me tell you a news, the French power in Vietnam has a tendency to erode on your side, you have to be careful, I will not send troops to protect you, if I bring troops here, then Mr. Hu, you have to prepare a few drawings for us to block the sea breeze." Bismarck said half-jokingly.
"Haha, then you can't let the sea breeze freeze Your Excellency Bismarck, tomorrow I will call someone to come and occupy it, Your Excellency should prepare more naval officers and active warships, anyway, after your "Dreadnought" class battleship is built, the current role of the cruiser is much lower, and for the time being, it is your national flag, I think you will not have a naval battle in the near future. ”
Hu Lin flickered around to get a few more second-hand warships from Germany, the price would not be expensive, otherwise the drawings in his hands would also be raised at that time, everyone knew in their hearts.
"Okay, Mr. Hu, I think our navy is going to be reequipped, and we are all beneficiants." Bismarck finally agreed to Hulin's request and transferred the warships that did not take long to Hulin at the right time, and now Hulin has no one to drive warships and the German Navy needs to train Hulin's people, strictly speaking, these warships are still in the hands of the Germans.
Bismarck then wanted to get technical drawings from Hulin, but Hulin hadn't digested the deal yet, so he took it slow for the time being, telling Bismarck that he was temporarily small and that he was not sure what he wanted, and that he would talk to Bismarck when he was bigger. In this way, the two parties chatted for a long time, in fact, it was polite to ask the two parties to maintain a more friendly relationship, and a translator was added in the middle, which naturally took a long time.
In order to give Bismeart the confidence to support himself, Hulin called a dozen escorts with him to practice a surprise attack, trained in the training methods of the modern army, with the M16 automatic rifle, the vitality and speed of the cross rush stunned the German army elite, which was more powerful than the German Royal Guard.
They always wanted the drawings of the M16, and Hu Lin naturally refused, joking, this is a life-saving thing that can be given to people casually, at least not for the time being.
The exchange with Germany was divided into three parts, which were now brought to Bismarck and brought back directly, the second part was handed over after the equipment had been shipped halfway, and the last part was handed over after all the exchange had been delivered. The navy had to deduct a good portion of the loan from the hiring of German technicians alone.
After unloading the 40,000 Mauser 98s and artillery and others of the two divisions, Bismarck returned to Germany by ship directly to report the transaction to Kaiser Wilhelm II, and asked the shipyard to study the drawings thoroughly.
Hu Lin asked people to send a telegram to the Pingshan army, asking them to hurry up and drive to pull the arms, there are only a few dozen people here, and it is no problem to deal with a few hundred people, if there are many people and the arms are robbed, then Hu Lin can only cry by himself. The port is still a problem, after the German second-hand warships arrived, there was no port, and now the unloading is transferred to the shore by small boats little by little, so naturally it will not work, and then Hu Lin sent a report to Chen Rui, asking Chen Rui to transfer manpower to build a military port in Fangcheng Port, and there will be more ships in the future, and it will be built in the first phase.
When Li Tie led a team of several hundred people to Fangchenggang, nothing happened, and the convoy dragged the arms back to Pingshan Village. Back in Pingshan Village, more than 5,000 people naturally could not use the equipment of the two divisions, and now everyone has received the world's most advanced gun, the Mauser 98, as well as dozens of artillery pieces.
After the distribution, 200 German army elites were assigned to lead training, which could ensure that every Pingshan army could receive effective guidance, and on the other side, Hu Lin asked Li Guangchou, Zhao Kui, and a small team of more than a dozen other village chiefs to mobilize and continue to recruit soldiers. However, most of them can only recruit soldiers outside, and this county can no longer draw men, if it weren't for the flow of many people from nearby counties, I'm afraid that it would be good if there were 2,000 people in the Pingshan Army, not only that, not every adult man meets the conditions for enlistment, Hu Lin wants men who can train into a regular army, not just a number of Manchu officers and soldiers.
In the Pingshan barracks, Hu Lin convened more than a dozen generals to discuss the matter. "Tell me if the rest of the county has been controlled."
"Commander, in addition to all the imperial officers and soldiers in the town and the county seat, Mashan County has been controlled, and some areas at the junction of the surrounding counties are also under control." This is Zhou Wu's main task to control the surrounding area, and this remote place has almost no resistance, so he naturally controls a lot of places smoothly.
"Zhou Wu, you have done a good job, now it is the Boxer Rebellion, the Eight-Nation Alliance has hit the capital, no one will pay attention to our movements here, and the surrounding areas continue to increase the scope of control."
"Well, Wang Daniu, you take a regiment of 1,500 people to control the area from Pingshan to Fangchenggang first, there are no officers and soldiers here, I think the training situation in Pingshan, even if most of them only get guns for a few days, it is enough for veterans to deal with them, Li Tie, your special division should also step up training."
Hulin must occupy Fangchenggang, otherwise the materials and machinery from the German side will not be able to be transported in.
"Army commander, there are 20,000 or 30,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Nanning, and we only have more than 5,000 now, less than a division, and we are only a day's journey away." Zhou Wu told Hu Lin worriedly.
"Well, I've thought about this, the Boxers are making trouble all over the country, and now all local armies are maintaining their strength, and with the strength of the Qing army, as long as it drags on for a month, let our Pingshan Army get familiar with firearms, and it is no problem to deal with the officers and soldiers in Nanning, you notify the following to step up training, and there is no need to save ammunition."
Hu Lin touched his chin, but he didn't have to worry about the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty only had some strength in Beiyang, but Beiyang was far away, and it was impossible to meet them in a short time.
Wang Daniu took a regiment and killed it, first a dozen officers and soldiers in Nachen Town were directly frightened and urinated, and they took control of the town without firing, leaving a platoon of more than 30 people to effectively control it, and then drove all the way to Fangchenggang.
Wang Daniu also drove most of the off-road vehicles, plus a regiment of 1,500 people rushed to the city, and the town-level barely encountered resistance, Datang Town, Nanxiao Town, Guitai Town, and Nameng Town, and captured the muskets and broadswords of officers and soldiers.
When they arrived in Qinbei County, the county learned that thousands of people were attacking, and they were so frightened that the county ordered the city gate to be closed, and it must be guarded, and sent people to Nanning for help.
"Division commander, should we attack, these people are too ignorant, there are so many of us that they can resist."
The regiment commander said proudly that this first large-scale operation made everyone feel up, and the time had come to reap the credit, coupled with the smooth capture of the first few towns, which directly made these people's confidence explode.
"Well, what's the bother, take the explosives and blow up the city gates."
Wang Da Niu likes to come violently, and he is very angry that these people don't call the city gate avatar. ”、
The regiment commander Li Ke called a few M16s to suppress the fire on the city gate, and the others shot with Mauser 98 points, and then asked people to explode directly by the city gate with explosives, and ran away after they lit it.
"Bump"
Broken wood flew, yellow smoke swirled, the city gate was blown open, two kinds of firepower kept suppressing the officers and soldiers on the city wall, the explosion point of the bullets on the daughter wall continued, and there was no feeling for the fire of the officers and soldiers, all the guns were placed indiscriminately, and they did not dare to raise their heads, Li Ke led people to rush into the city.
The county seat is a burst of chickens and dogs, where it looks like a war, hundreds of Qing troops defending the city scattered and fled, and there are discarded old-fashioned fires, knives and guns on the streets. Li Ke divided some people to chase after him, and he went straight to the county office.
Wang Daniu took another person to the county military tun, but when he arrived, he found that there was no one and he had already run away. The rest is to check the county seat, the outside of the county has been fenced off, and the flies don't want to fly out, and it didn't take long for them to pull out the people who had escaped, and temporarily detain them as road builders.
The property of the evil officials and landlords was directly sealed, and it was transported back to Pingshan afterwards. Wang Daniu left two companies of more than 200 people to control the county seat, implement military management, and rushed to another county seat, Shangsi County, with the Pingshan army.
Shangsi County is more broken than Qinbei County, there are only more than 100 people defending the city, it is even more desolate here near the border with Vietnam, looking at the many people brought by Wang Daniu, they all came out and surrendered without a few shots, the old way, the landlord officials who had done evil were shot and cleaned up, the property was sealed, and others were pulled to repair the road, and now there are too many places to build the road.
Wang Daniu didn't get addicted, scolded his mother, left a company in Shangsi County, and a few towns along the way, swept all the way with Pingshanjun, and almost didn't resist to take Dazhi Town, Huangmitun Town, Kangxiling Town, Tanying, Maoling Town, Huashi Town. With the Pingshan army to attack the most important place, Fangcheng County, Wang Daniu is the most depressed here, most of the county here are familiar, and there are too many related households.
Bringing the Pingshan army to the outside of Fangcheng County, the county lord knew that it was the Pingshan Army, Hu Lin's army, and directly opened the city gate to greet him, without the consciousness of being occupied at all, and Wang Daniu was not good at doing anything out of the ordinary, so he drove the army directly into the county seat.
After taking over Fangcheng County, the county officials were not moved, but they just reminded that in the future, General Hu Lin was not allowed to mess around again, and as for the evil landlord, he would not let go of the shooting, raiding the house, and pulling the others to build roads.
Then, Pingshan to Fangchenggang was controlled, except for the county seat, the others fell into the hands of the Pingshan army, and the control range near Fangchenggang is also expanding, this belongs to the border area, and this will be chaotic all over the country, and almost no one cares about the things here, and there are only more than 20,000 garrison officers and soldiers on the entire Nanning side of Guangxi.
