After a long time, there was no sound in the conference room, it seems that the people here don't know much about Ma Shengzhi's border army, most of them have only heard about it on the surface like Old Man Wang, these belong to the public information, many people know it, and they all feel that it does not have much effect on the battle.

Hu Lin saw that everyone did not speak, thinking that no one really understood the situation, but when he was about to break the meeting, Xu Dezhi provided some useful information, Ma Ma Shengzhi's border army had participated in the war against France, and because of the strict management of the army, it won with not too many casualties.

The main thing is that Ma Ma Shengzhi kills people without blinking, and those who dare to run away and retreat will basically be executed, so the border army of Ma Ma Shengzhi's border army has done a good job in carrying out the order, and it will not be defeated without absolute defeat.

In this case, the Pingshan Army has only 10,000 people, which is not as large as the border army of Ma Ma Shengzhi in terms of numbers, and there are 5,000 fewer people.

If Ma Ma Shengzhi's border army and the Pingshan army fight to the end, even if the Pingshan army wins, it will suffer heavy casualties, which will definitely be a big blow to the newly established Pingshan army, but if too many people are transferred, the place controlled by the Pingshan army will cause a lack of military strength.

This is likely to give the bandits hiding in the deep mountains a chance, and the previous efforts are likely to be in vain, after all, the establishment of the ruling order is to be carried out by people, and if these people kill people, they will not return to the previous state.

It took Hu Lin a lot of effort to train these managers, or these talented people with foundations, if there is no one, there will be one less, and I don't know how long it will take to retrain, so these are also not acceptable to Hu Lin.

Although Xu Dezhi informed Ma Shengzhi that the weapons used by the border army were not as good as those of the Pingshan army, that is, the committee 1888, and the others were old guns with little power, if there were too many people, the advantages of these weapons could easily be neutralized. Maybe you will have to play bayonet fighting.

Now the two sides have similar power ratios, and the only way to win is to use other methods, first and foremost the air force, but fortunately, the gunpowder factory was established in time. Otherwise, just like the last time a French merchant hijacked a car, there are planes that can helpless the enemy, and shells in the face cannot be thrown from the sky to explode.

Now that the initial tests of aerial bombs have been successful, even if they are made of black-gunpowder-powder, they are only more duds. There is no way to do it for the time being, Wang Lin is there to produce and study several types of (explosive) gunpowder provided by Hu Lin.

Immediately, Hu Lin instructed Wang Lin to study the gunpowder-formula provided and speed up the production of black-gunpowder, so as to temporarily meet the needs of this war, and give priority to the supply of materials.

The machinery factory in charge of Yang Zitong is to speed up the production of bombs and accessories, and everyone temporarily gives up the processing of other accessories, and cooperates with the production of these parts to supply the Shanghai Air Force as soon as possible.

After Yang Zitong received the order. Then he left the conference room, since it is the fastest speed, then naturally there is no need to stay here, now is the time to grab time, the whole army will set off after the meeting, then, there will not be too much time left for the machinery factory.

If everyone stops what they are doing, then with the current processing capacity, a lot of aerial bombs can be made. For the time being, let the Air Force have weapons, otherwise the Air Force can only be an attack weapon dominated by machine guns.

After Yang Zitong left, Hu Lin continued to press the platoon and asked Li Guangchou to organize the people below to transfer some of the people. It was also to temporarily put aside some tasks, first prepare military rations, fuel supplies these logistics, Li Guangchou did not stay long when he received the order, and went out directly to prepare.

The rest is Chen Rui's engineering department, and the Pingshan Army does not have engineering troops. So when there is a need to build war defense roads and bridges on the battlefield, they are naturally professional, and what they grab is speed, and then, Hu Lin asked Chen Rui to transfer some people and mechanical equipment, and then set off with the Pingshan Army.

After Chen Rui went out, Hu Lin and everyone present studied the battle plan, although most of these people did not understand military affairs, and there were a few officers of the Pingshan Army, these people were only cooperating in logistics and personnel, and mainly a few officers of the Pingshan Army were discussing with Hu Lin.

Anyway, the military textbooks were given to the Pingshan Army, almost everyone is learning, how much can be mastered, this war is also a time of testing, in addition, the Pingshan Army is much better than Ma Ma Shengzhi's border army in terms of weapons, although the number is smaller, but there is also the Air Force as a killing weapon.

In addition, the Pingshan Army has vehicles as transportation, which is also a great advantage in preserving the physical strength of the soldiers, and now the core area controlled by the Pingshan Army, that is, several counties around Mashan County, have been opened to cement roads.

The Ningming County that extends out belongs to the peripheral area casually, but the dirt road is still flattened, and vehicles can naturally pass. The military forces in the outlying areas are weak and can deal with some bandits and a small number of guild parties.

But Ma Shengzhi's border army belongs to the regular army of the imperial court, and there are many people, which is not something that these peripheral soldiers can deal with, and Ma Shengzhi's border army is strictly organized, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield.

Ma Shengzhi's border army was also passing through the peripheral influence area of the Pingshan Army, and if it was close to the inner area, I am afraid that it would have been blocked by Hu Lin's entanglement.

In addition, Ma Shengzhi is also arrogant, and if he slaughters a village in other places, the court will not do anything to them, but after this place is secretly taken over by Hu Lin, it is different, these people are Hu Lin's roots.

If the roots can't be protected, then how to face the people in the sphere of influence in the future, plus the people from Pingshan will kill two, these two people are the talents who were cultivated in the academy with great difficulty.

Ma Shengzhi killed him without saying a word, and he didn't look at the Pingshan force at all, but in fact, this is normal, the biggest strength on the surface of Guangxi Province is indeed Ma Shengzhi's border army, and Ma Shengzhi will govern the army, even if the same number of officers and soldiers are not his opponents, will he be afraid of the Pingshan army?

With Hu Lin leading the Pingshan Army to suppress bandits and suppress the party, Ma Shengzhi naturally knew about it, but in Ma Shengzhi's view, Hu Lin was just a club, and there were more than 500 militia groups under him.

There is a lot of regimental training in Guangxi, but it is not Hu Lin's private army, this is the imperial court, can Hu Lin be transferred to deal with the soldiers and horses who are also the imperial court? Obviously impossible, and how could the arrogant Ma Shengzhi think that those thirty or forty thousand people could be compared to his regular army.

As a result, when passing by Banxin Town, he knew that Hu Lin's people were there, but he still killed him without hesitation, and did not treat Hu Lin as an opponent.

Since Ma Shengzhi has done this, then Hu Lin will naturally not let Ma Shengzhi go back to Yulin, and when the time comes, killing them and intercepting them now are two different things, and now Ma Shengzhi's border army is a balloon that is free from the outside, blowing it as much as it wants, as long as it can be blown out, and it is in these remote areas outside.

If it really happened to the court of the Qing Dynasty, the old witch would have a prevarication when she knew, and she would just not admit it, even if everyone knew that Hu Lin did it, so what, Hu Lin didn't admit it, and no one did anything to Hu Lin, after all, this is a territory controlled by Hu Lin more strictly.

After discussing the possibility of an attack in the conference room, Zhou Ding was asked to gather troops, and at the same time sent a telegram to Li Tie and Wang Daniu in Nanning, informing them of the approximate plan for the operation, so that they could consider any deficiencies on the road.

The peacetime training of the Pingshan Army was reflected at this time, and it didn't take more than an hour, everyone was assembled, and the loading and unloading of weapons and ammunition was still going on.

Li Guangchou's logistics are even more fine, just press back to keep up, Chen Rui's engineering team has to hurry up, Chen Rui left the conference room first, there was more time to prepare, and he went directly to the construction site to grab some capable people and equipment, and directly led the team to the direction of Ningming County.

The vast team assembled in the school field, Zhou Dinghe and several officers at the meeting had already revealed the news, and the soldiers knew that someone had killed the door.

Hu Lin only told someone on the platform that it was time to test everyone, and got into the car. Off-road vehicles, trucks, and towed cannons walked along the road on the edge of Pingshan Village, leaving the smell of oil in the air. (To be continued.) )
