Chapter XVIII Reorganization and Training
With the help of two absentees, Wang Hu succeeded in finding one person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In just one night, it was said that 30 absentees were willing to go up the mountain and join Yangjiazhai.
In a dense forest three miles away from the mining area, thirty absenteeism, without exception, all with excitement on their faces, got their own twenty taels of settling-in allowance. Then, with a vision for the future, he hurriedly left the dense forest......
Looking at the absenteeism in front of him, an old bandit standing beside Wang Hu said with envy and worry: "Second master, this is six hundred taels of silver, and it will be gone in a blink of an eye, aren't you worried, they will run for their lives directly after taking the silver......
Wang Hu shook his head and replied firmly: "Don't be afraid, outside the gate, the prestige of the bandits is not to be said." They can not be afraid of the court, not afraid of Lao Maozi, but they dare not be afraid of bandits. ”
"Because, as long as he offends the bandits, what awaits him is the destruction of his family...... As long as he is still outside the gate for a day, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the bandits...... So, as long as they promise me, they will definitely come......"
Speaking of this, Wang Hu seemed to think of something, and then added: "I know, you must be envious of their settling-in expenses...... Don't worry, the big boss has already thought about it for you......"
"All the old brothers in the cottage, each person in the combat platoon will be compensated forty taels of silver for settling expenses...... If the logistics are rearranged, each person will be compensated 30 taels...... As for those who died in battle, as long as there are family members still alive, the big boss will let people send sixty taels of silver......"
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, there are still dozens of miles to go today, we must rush to the next mine before dark, you know, we still have twenty brothers to ......"
Three days later, when Zhou Zhongju and Wang Hu brought back 50 brothers respectively, Yang Xingguo, who stayed in the cottage, also received 4,000 taels of silver from the Japanese. Not only that, in two or three days of close contact and training, Yang Xingguo also found many good seedlings among more than 20 old bandits that could be used as low-level officers to cultivate.
So, as soon as Wang Hu and Zhou Zhongju came back, Yang Xingguo began to organize all the bandits in the cottage......
"Wang Hu, second uncle, because the financial resources of our cottage are limited, and there are not many brothers who can be the leader...... Therefore, the entire cottage is temporarily organized into two combat platoons, one recruit replatoon, and three directly subordinate squads...... All squads and platoons are combined into one company, I am the company commander, and the two of you are the deputy company commanders......"
"In addition, I personally served as the platoon leader of the combat platoon, a total of forty people......"
"The second platoon of the battle is led by Deputy Company Commander Wang, a total of forty brothers......"
"The second uncle of the recruit baggage platoon, you are the platoon commander, and the personnel are uncertain......"
"The three squads are the sharpshooter squad, the reconnaissance squad, and the guard squad......"
"There are thirteen people in each of the three squads, the sharpshooter squad leader is the original squad leader Wang Ping, the reconnaissance squad leader is the original second squad leader Zhang Shanlin, and the guard squad leader is the original third squad leader Li Xiaohu......
"At the level, these three direct squad leaders are equivalent to our platoon commanders......"
"The deputy platoon commander and squad leader of the two combat platoons and the baggage platoon are all chosen from among our old brothers...... However, these people are temporary, and after a month, if they don't do well, they should continue to go back to being small soldiers......"
As a deputy company commander, he went below to lead the troops to be a platoon commander and regained real power in the cottage. This can definitely be called a surprise for Wang Hu.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo said what he thought in his heart, Wang Hu nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Zhou Zhongju also had no opinion, not only did he have no opinion, but he also asked rhetorically: "What about the equipment...... Big boss, according to what you said, we definitely don't have enough equipment in our hands......"
Yang Xingguo nodded and continued: "The battle platoon is equipped with Japanese Murata rifles, each with twenty rounds of ammunition...... The second platoon of the battle was armed with the old Maozi's Mosin Nagant rifles, with twenty rounds of ammunition each...... The sharpshooter squad is the killer weapon of our cottage, and it is also equipped with Mosin Nagant rifles, which are not enough to be drawn from the second platoon, and each person is equipped with fifty rounds of ammunition......"
"As for the remaining Murata rifles, the recruit baggage platoon, the guard squad, and the scout squad are divided equally...... A gun with 100 rounds of ammunition is used for training...... Here I promise, at the latest, for a month, to get all the brothers with their rifles......"
"In order to allow the brothers to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, I decided to manage the cottage according to the methods of the army, and all the brothers in the cottage train for six hours a day and train with my methods......"
"In addition, in order to practice marksmanship, ordinary brothers can train with ten rounds each, and sharpshooters with twenty rounds...... However, this training marksmanship is not for everyone to empty the gun and hit a fixed target...... Instead, they took the squad as a unit, fought into the mountains behind the pine ridge, and practiced marksmanship with prey......"
"In this way, not only can you practice marksmanship, but the prey you hit can also improve the cottage food, so that the brothers can make up for it......"
"I'm only giving you twenty days to train, and after twenty days, we must ensure that the brothers can go to the battlefield to fight ambushes, and when the time comes, we will most likely have a mission......
Speaking of ambush warfare, Wang Hu subconsciously thought of the battle that had just ended a few days ago......
In Wang Hu's view, as long as you practice marksmanship well and know how to abide by the rules, you can fight an ambush battle.
Twenty days of training in marksmanship and following the rules is still no problem.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, Wang Hu gave a very positive answer.
In Yang Xingguo's view, Lao Maozi, who had just suffered a big defeat, would take at least a month to regroup and re-attack the cottage. After all, Lao Maozi's total strength in Anshan is very limited.
And he and the entire Yangjiazhai can take advantage of this month to get a good grasp of military training......
However, what Yang Xingguo didn't expect was that as soon as his training began, Lao Maozi couldn't sit still......
However, this time it was not Lao Maozi who came, but the officers and soldiers of the Anshan County Patrol Battalion who were only looking forward to Lao Maozi.
In order to harass Yangjiazhai and prevent Yangjiazhai from getting better, Lao Maozi, who has a limited number of troops, immediately thought of the 500 Qing Dynasty patrol battalion stationed outside Anshan City.
After coercing and inducing the Anshan County Commander and sending out fifty Mosin Nagant rifles, the Anshan County Commander immediately made the decision to send troops to Yangjiazhai.
And today, five days later, it happened to be the time for the county commander to discuss with Lieutenant Colonel Lao Maozi and the battalion commander to send troops.
