The Qing army mobilized 30,000 horses to suppress the security regiment, and Xia Jun immediately began to arrange a plan to completely annihilate the Qing army after receiving the news.

The plan for total annihilation was set to wait for work at ease, meet the attack head-on, and block the rear road.

The battlefield was selected in the area of Shuixi in Jian'an County, where it was very flat, which was conducive to the development of the formation during the battle, and a part of the troops was arranged to ambush in the mountains, first put the Qing army over, and then block the original road.

After the frontal troops defeat the Qing army, they will attack from both sides to completely annihilate this Qing army, 30,000 Qing troops, and 3 million points can be brought after being killed.

Since the government in northwest Fujian had been defeated, Xia Jun transferred most of the local second-line troops to form 5 battalions.

Four of the battalions were formed by the second-line troops, and the other battalion was the main force.

Xia Jun also set up a staff department, which was composed of students from the Army Academy and Chen Xuanyu, who served as the chief of the general staff.

"There may be some artillery in the Qing army, we still lack artillery, although there are grenadiers, but if the battle starts, if the Qing army cannot be quickly defeated, there may be some casualties in the battle." Chen Xuanyu said.

According to the reconnaissance platoon's reconnaissance, among the 30,000 Qing troops gathered by Songshou, there were indeed some artillery, although they were relatively backward, but there were several Western cannons, probably Krupp, but the scout of the reconnaissance platoon was semi-literate and did not recognize the style of artillery, so he could only distinguish that it was a Western cannon.

The problem is that the security corps now doesn't have a single cannon.

Artillery is expensive!

A French 75mm rapid-fire gun costs 2000 points for 1, plus towing vehicles, it costs 2200 points, and a shell costs 20 points.

This made Xia Jun feel very uneconomical, especially the cannonballs, the bigger the more expensive, and a larger cannonball was enough to exchange for one, or even a few M1 Garands.

So for a long time, Xia Jun has not equipped the security regiment with artillery, but now it is not possible to equip it, after all, there will always be a tough battle, and it is really difficult to fight without artillery!

In a field battle like this, there is nothing without artillery, although it may suffer a little dumb loss, but it will definitely not lose too much, but since there is a need, Xia Jun had to nod and say to them: "A batch of artillery will arrive in two days, let's form an artillery company first." ”

"But who's going to bring this artillery company?" Xia Jun asked.

Chen Xuanyu shook his head, he didn't know either!

He studied infantry, not artillery, and he didn't know much about artillery.

"Alright! Let's draw lots~! Xia Jun said helplessly, on the same day, Xia Jun drew lots at the Jianzhou Army Academy, and selected 10 students from the first 100 students to set up the artillery department.

Immediately, Xia Jun exchanged for 6 French 75mm rapid-fire guns, which were improved by France in 1917 and were very powerful.

Weight: 1544 kg

Tube length: 2700 mm

Ammunition: High Explosive / Fragmentation / Anti-Armor 5.97-7.25 kg are common 7.24 kg

Caliber: 75 mm

Common transport: artillery motor carriage (6 horses) / artillery trailer

Elevation: -11 degrees - +18 degrees

Directional firing boundary: 6 degrees

Rate of fire: 15 rounds per minute

Muzzle velocity: 500 m/s

Effective range: 6 to 7 km.

The biggest advantage of this 75mm rapid-fire gun is that it has a high rate of fire, the general rapid-fire gun has a rate of fire of only 6~8 rounds per minute, while the French 75mm rapid-fire gun can reach 15 rounds per minute, and the range is not far from other guns of the same level.

6 75mm guns, plus 6 towing trucks, and 5,000 shells, cost Xia Jun 113,600 points, and Xia Jun grinned in pain.

It seems that the military industry must be developed as soon as possible, and it is really not the way to go on like this.

These conventional weapons, if you can't redeem them, try not to redeem them, otherwise no amount of points will be enough. This is just an artillery battery, it cost so many points, of course, the most expensive is still the shells, how can the war not be shelled?

With the marching speed of the Qing army, it would take a week to come to Jian'an County at the earliest, and Xia Jun began to arrange the battlefield.

The route of the Qing army is very easy to judge, it is nothing more than from Fuzhou to Nanping, and then from Nanping to Jian'an, which is a provincial road, and it will inevitably pass through the Shuixi area.

Xia Jun pulled three battalions to Shuixi to set up defenses, and one of them was arranged in the mountains of Baishuiyuan Village, waiting for the order of the headquarters, and once the order was received, it would rush out of Baishuiyuan and block the official road.

The other two battalions were deployed in Shuixi, and the combat position of the artillery company was arranged in Dayangshan, with a range sufficient to cover the entire battlefield.

The training of the artillery company began quickly, but it was not so easy for the security regiment, which had not been exposed to artillery, to form a good combat force. Shelling training was immediately launched, but with trainer shells, which were much cheaper.

At the moment when the security regiment was preparing for the battle, the hearts of the people in northwest Fujian were not so stable, and at this time, the autonomy of northwest Fujian was announced, and many people felt hesitant.

Because they were worried about the Qing army's attack, some squires already had plans to run away.

However, the internal stability of the security regiment is very stable, the military spirit has not wavered at all, they are eager to fight with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in order to show the security regiment's hard training of 'exquisite' combat skills, although the individual combat skills have been practiced well, but compared with Western countries, after all, Western countries rely on machines to fight, and compared with the book, their combat skills are worse, after all, the accumulation of time is not short-term can be leveled.

Jianzhou University was even more boiling, and those students who had joined the Han People's Party shouted slogans to overthrow the Manchus, and were very excited about the autonomy of northwestern Fujian.

Although not reading, they believe that day is not far off.

Li Shilin is also beating the drum in his heart, at this time, whether the Li family is alive or dead, it all depends on whether the security group can resist the Qing army, once they can't resist the attack of the Qing army, the first to die is their Li family.

The changes in northwest Fujian were entirely caused by his Li family.

Li Shilin didn't blame his daughter, it's already like this, what's the use of blaming! If he Xia Jun really has the ability to create a world, the Li family will have to rely on Xia Jun's snort in the future.

It's just that Xia Jun asked him to let his daughter out, but Li Shilin didn't agree, now the Qing army is about to come to suppress it, and when the time comes, what should I do if I lose my people?

Last time Li Shijing returned to China, he was unhappy, so he agreed when he wanted to go out to play, but he was robbed by bandits, and this time Li Shilin resolutely refused to let it.

Whether the current wave of autonomy in northwest Fujian can calm the hearts of the people depends on the battle between the security regiment and the Qing army.
