Chapter 14: The Footsteps of History

"Xiaodong, I came to you so late because I have something for you to do."

After talking to Bian Jiugen's father and son, Yue Weihua immediately brought Yue Xiaodong here, because except for Yue Xiaodong, no one else could really do it.

"Commander, you command, I promise to complete the mission." Yue Xiaodong immediately expressed his attitude, sincere and respectful.

Although it has only been a day to get along with Yue Weihua, Yue Weihua's magical methods, as well as the endless ideas, have completely conquered Yue Xiaodong, the master in front of him, that is definitely a person who does great things, if he doesn't hurry up now, then it will be too late to regret it later.

"Hehe, you guy, there are no outsiders now, so you don't need to be so serious." Yue Weihua smiled, and then said: "That's the case, there are thirty soldiers in your six platoons, but there are only three Makqin heavy machine guns, do you think it's a bit of a waste of manpower?" ”

Generally, the standard equipment of a heavy machine gun squad is seven people, namely the main and deputy squad leaders, shooters, deputy shooters, loaders, plus two ammunition men, of course, some will have a second pair of shooters, that is, a maximum of eight people is enough, but at present, there are three soldiers in six rows, sharing three heavy machine guns, which is indeed a little more manpower.

"Commander, I don't think it's a waste, I think the Makqin heavy machine gun is destined to become the mainstay of firepower suppression in the future war, although our Makqin is less now, but we can train more machine gunners, I think it's still worth it, besides, I believe in you, Commander, I believe that you will be able to get more Makqin in a short time." Yue Xiaodong said seriously.

I have to say that Yue Xiaodong is very foresight and judgment, you know, he has not yet participated in a war, and just through a day of training, he dares to predict the mainstream of future wars, the key is that he also predicted correctly, this is talent, of course, Yue Xiaodong's trust in Yue Weihua also makes Yue Weihua look at him differently.

Originally, Yue Weihua planned to transfer a squad of manpower from the sixth platoon to form a reconnaissance squad, speaking of which, the formation of a reconnaissance squad should be thanks to the arrival of Bian Jiugen's father and son, otherwise Yue Weihua may not be able to think of it for the time being, but scouts are absolutely vital to a force, and it can be said that scouts are the eyes and ears of a troop.

In later generations, scouts are known as the predecessors of special forces, and their functions are mainly to carry out reconnaissance of campaigns and tactics, and obtain information required for campaigns and battles.

Of course, although many troops do not have professional scouts, if they want to really encounter a war, they will definitely send people to investigate the situation, but professional and non-professional, the gap is huge, and now that Yue Weihua has thought about it, he will definitely start training his own professional scouts.

However, since Yue Xiaodong felt that the six platoons were not suitable for splitting, the manpower of the reconnaissance squad could only go to the dart bureau in advance to select people, so Yue Weihua sighed for a while, and then said: "Xiaodong, the situation is like this, what about me, I want to form a special army, in addition to the ability of ordinary soldiers, they must also master strong reconnaissance skills and skills, carry out infiltration into enemy-occupied areas, understand and grasp the dynamics of the enemy's army, and provide accurate intelligence for our actions. To use a modern military term, it's scouts. ”

"Scout?"

"Yes, Scout, I was originally going to draw from the sixth row, but I think what you said also makes sense, so I changed my mind, and I decided to draw people from the dart game, which happens to be familiar to you." Yue Weihua paused, and then said: "Regarding the selection of personnel, I will give you a few suggestions, first of all, people must be reliable, secondly, they must be clever, and then, give priority to selecting good ones." ”

Yue Xiaodong listened very carefully, and after digesting it for a while, he replied: "Okay, most of the dart masters in the dart game know the roots, and there is no problem in terms of character, as for the clever young men, there are also many clever young men, after all, they have been walking in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and they can speak and understand this is a basic skill, as for their skills, it depends on Brother Hua's requirements, there are not many people who are stronger than me, but there are many people who are worse than me, and their marksmanship is also good." ”

"Well, that's good, in fact, the people of the dart bureau will be merged into the Black Dragon Army sooner or later, I have discussed this with Uncle Xiang, but because of the problem of equipment and station, it has been postponed, and now it can be regarded as sending some people in advance, you will do this early tomorrow morning." Yue Weihua said.

"I know this, now the entire three eastern provinces are not peaceful, and there is not much to do in the dart bureau, so it must be no problem to transfer manpower, but, Brother Hua, how many people are transferred, you give me an indicator, don't run over at that time, we may not be able to live here?" Yue Xiaodong asked.

"After all, not everyone is suitable to be a scout, and even if they are transferred, it can be considered temporary, and when we pass this tense time, scouts need to choose excellent soldiers to join in the whole army, and when the time comes, I will personally train them."

"Oh, by the way, after the selection, you don't have to bring them over to Shilitun, I'll give you a task now, and after the manpower is selected, go directly to the second station to find out the news, mainly to inquire and monitor the movements of the evil bandit Lin San, oh, before you go back to Aihui, bring Bian Jiugen, he is more familiar with Lin San's situation." Yue Weihua commanded.

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission."

"Well, you go, I personally helped you carry the machine gun platoon for the past two days, and when you come back, the machine gun platoon is still yours."

"Yes, Commander."

……

Shilitun, the assault training of the Black Dragon Army, although it is in full swing, and the progress of the soldiers is also advancing day by day, but Yue Weihua, a little butterfly, is far from being able to affect the pace of history, and it is still marching according to its inertia.

On July 22, 1900, the Russian army on the northeast route of the Tsarist Russia's Fifth Route Army, under the leadership of Major General Sakharov, had a total of four infantry battalions, four cavalry companies, two artillery companies, as well as an engineer platoon, a telecommunications platoon, a medical rescue team, etc., and carried 26 artillery pieces, divided into 22 river ships and 56 tugboats, starting from Boli and marching west along the Heishui River, arriving at Hasselsusu (now Tongjiang) today.

After the arrival of the Tsarist Russian army, it launched an attack on the garrison Qing army, but the Qing army only resisted slightly, and then retreated.

Yue Weihua sat quietly in the small courtyard, thinking about the upcoming war of the three surnames, as well as the burning and looting of the cities of the three surnames by the Russian soldiers after the war, and the burning of houses and the destruction of the city, the sense of powerlessness in his heart suddenly rose again, sighed, and said helplessly: "It's still too weak, and I don't know, when will we start to rewrite this history and turn this world upside down?" ”

Just as Yue Weihua was sighing, Bian Zhiyuan knocked on the far door and said, "Report to the commander, Yue Xiaodong's platoon commander sent someone to deliver the letter." ”

"Oh, please come in." Yue Weihua immediately ordered, Yue Xiaodong didn't see the slightest news for two days, which really made Yue Weihua a little anxious.

"Subordinate Nie Youcai, I have seen the commander."

"Hehe, Brother Nie, we are also old acquaintances, please sit down, Zhiyuan, go pour a glass of water for Brother Nie, this weather is so hot, and let Brother Nie rush under the sun, it's hard."

The faint smile on Yue Weihua's face, as well as that enthusiastic attitude, suddenly made Nie Youcai feel flattered, although Yue Weihua is now a grass commander, but even if he is a grass commander, he is also a commander, and there are two hundred junior brothers under his hands, it is rare to be able to do such a courteous corporal, and at the same time, he is also glad for his decision again.

So Nie Youcai, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up again, and said respectfully: "It's not hard, it's not hard, Commander, you're tormenting me, as soon as I heard Young Master Xiaodong say that he wanted to recruit troops for the commander, I was the first to report and participate. ”

"Haha, okay, welcome Brother Nie to join our Black Dragon Army's big family, in this way, stay for dinner in the evening, now let's talk about business first."

"Commander, the general situation is like this,......

Erzhan is a small town located at the northern foot of Bulun Mountain, about 50 kilometers away from Aihui City, and the entire Erzhan town is also mountainous, in fact, it can also be said that Erzhan Town is actually located in the large and small mountains that extend from the Bulun Mountains.

Such a place leaning on the mountains and surrounded by small hills naturally becomes a happy land for beards, there are a lot of beards here, and various forces are intertwined, and Lin San is one of the powerful bandits, and because Lin San and his gang are insidious and cunning, they do all kinds of evil, and kill people like hemp, although they have a bad reputation in this area, there are really few people who dare to offend Lin San.

In the past two days, Yue Xiaodong took twelve brothers, under the leadership of Bian Jiugen, and quickly integrated into the second station town, and then divided into three roads, one way under the leadership of Bian Jiugen, entered the old nest of the third forest in the Buren Mountains to monitor its movements, all the way under the leadership of Yue Xiaodong, mixed in the second station town to collect all kinds of news, and all the way under the leadership of Nie Youcai, responsible for several rest points on the way to the second station and Shilitun, responsible for monitoring the situation along the way, and responsible for liaison.

In this way, under the three-pronged approach, in just over a day, Yue Xiaodong found a breakthrough, Yue Xiaodong found that in fact, all bandits in the second station have industries and strongholds in the second station town, and the evil bandit Lin San is naturally no exception, so Yue Xiaodong has made many contacts and bribes to the beards in the Lin San industry, and soon, Yue Xiaodong obtained a very important information, that is, one of Lin San's cronies tomorrow will lead a few brothers to come to Shilitun to check the situation.

"Very good, talented, you have done a good job, after winning Lin San, I will give you the first credit, this ......, so ,......, let's put on a good show tomorrow,......。"

"The subordinates understand, the subordinates will go back, notify Platoon Commander Yue, and arrange everything."
