In the three days leading up to this military exercise, Wang Bin has been strengthening training in all aspects of the army.

In these three days, Wang Bin also determined the establishment of the machine gun, Wang Bin referred to the establishment of later generations, and determined that the machine gun has a main shooter and two secondary shooters.

In addition, due to the general lack of logistics and transportation capacity in this era, Wang Bin added three more soldiers to carry ammunition and three soldiers to protect the machine guns, so that each team of nine people was drawn to form a machine gun group, eight machine guns, a total of 72 people, each team of two machine guns.

And in the weekday training of machine guns, Wang Bin proposed that during the battle, the machine guns should not be placed in one place, but should be scattered and placed at both ends of the position, so that the firing range of the machine guns can be greatly improved, and it can be cross-fired from both ends of the position to the center of the position.

In this way, the shooting effect is much better than putting the machine guns together.

As for the machine gunner, Wang Bin doesn't want to be proficient, at least he can fiddle with the machine gun and maintain the machine gun in his daily life.

Under Wang Bin's daily training, three days passed unconsciously, and the training of the second and first battalions finally began, and it was time to start testing.

Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, they are actually about the same, both sides are infantry battalions.

In Wang Yingkai's view, the only difference between the two sides is that the training methods of the soldiers of the second battalion have changed, and new training methods have been carried out, while the first battalion has always followed the methods of the past.

However, for Wang Bin, those machine guns were the key to this military exercise, and the location of the military exercise was selected in front of a Mopan Mountain 13 kilometers southeast of Qian'an County, north of Xujiagou Village.

Before the military exercise, a lottery was drawn to decide who was responsible for attacking and who was responsible for defense.

After drawing lots, Wang Bin looked at the sign in his hand and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

His own military exercise plan is mainly defensive, it seems that he really has pig's feet, and his protagonist's aura has played a role, so that he has drawn a defensive lot, so it seems that Zheng Jichun is attacking.

After the draw of lots, the two sides began to arrange their positions.

Wang Bin explained the combat policy to Lin Hao and the others again, and at this time, Wang Yingkai asked the guards to send a message to Wang Bin to report to the headquarters immediately.

Wang Bin hurriedly returned to the headquarters, and as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the headquarters, Wang Bin saw Zheng Jichun also coming in a hurry.

Deng Jichun saw that Wang Bin was also at the door, so he walked over and asked, "Brother Wang Bin, what is the matter with this wing elder telling me to wait?" ”

"I don't know, let's see what I'm talking about first." Wang Bin replied

"You don't know? I've heard you're the nephew of Tsubasa-sama. ”

Deng Jichun looked incredulous, and then followed behind Wang Bin and walked towards the headquarters with Wang Bin.

"Report to my lord, Wang Guan and Deng Guan have arrived."

The guard at the door shouted

Wang Bin went in to see that the headquarters was not only Wang Yingkai, but also another person chatting and laughing with Wang Yingkai, Wang Bin took a closer look, this person was slightly fat, with a sparse beard at the corners of his mouth, wearing court clothes, embroidering this crane in front of the court clothes, at first glance, he was a big official, and he was also a big official.

Wang Bin looked at this person, combined with the memories of later generations, and when he looked for it, he really knew this person, and the whole person was immediately blinded.

Oh, mom, isn't this Yuan Shikai, why did he come here because he found that the master had crossed over and came to find me.

Wang Bin thought in his heart

But then it was overturned again, how could he, Yuan Shikai, not the Time and Space Administration, know this.

At this time, Wang Yingkai said, "You haven't come to see Lord Yuan yet." ”

Deng Jichun on the side was also blindsided when he heard this, how could he have the opportunity to see this high-flying Lord Yuan just a small pipe band.

Immediately said with Wang Bin

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan has seen Lord Yuan."

"No need to be polite, the official came to visit his friends today, and it coincided with a military exercise in these two towns, so the official came to take a look, and the two of you don't have to be restrained."

Yuan Shikai responded

Wang Bin's surprise when he saw Yuan Shikai for the first time at this time had calmed down, and Wang Bin was full of emotion in his heart for this person who had single-handedly founded Beiyang.

Yuan Shikai was the hero of the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the late Qing Dynasty, he advocated the constitution to systematically dismantle the power of the Qing Dynasty aristocracy, and later directly forced the palace, the Qing Emperor abdicated, and China avoided the situation of division between the north and the south at that time.

Yuan Shikai abolished the Yamen to create a police security management model, led the establishment of a patrol police system following the example of the West, established China's first police force, separated the Chinese police, and actively opened mines and factories to develop the industrial economy.

He also repeatedly emphasized the importance of education: "Where a country is strong or weak, it is balanced by the advance and retreat of the people's morality, people's wisdom and people's strength. If we want these three to increase, we must pay attention to national education. ”

He also approved a pilot program to spell Chinese characters in the Latin alphabet and to educate adults in literacy.

Even under diplomatic pressure, Japan accepted some of the provisions of the "21 Articles" that amounted to interference in China's internal affairs, and its political performance was tarnished.

But Yuan Shikai resisted the treaty, and some of its provisions were eventually repealed at the Washington Conference.

And what really made Yuan Shikai's prestige completely bankrupt was the ascension to the throne of the emperor, which was opposed by the whole country.

The act of becoming emperor is arguably the biggest mistake Yuan made in his political career.

Since then, Yuan Shikai has been appearing in front of everyone with a negative image.

After the death of Yuan Shikai, no one had enough ability to stabilize the unification of China, and China fell into a state of warlord warfare for decades.

Wang Bin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If Yuan Shikai hadn't been the emperor at the beginning, I'm afraid that the ending would still be two.

"Brother Shaochen, this is the junior of the clan that you often mention to me, it seems that today it is really a talent." Yuan Shikai suddenly said to Wang Yingkai

"Brother Weiting laughed at me, how can a junior get such a compliment." Although Wang Yingkai said this, the joy on his face could not be concealed.

Deng Jichun on the side was envious in his heart, and said, This is a good shade under the big tree.

"Don't say anything else, the old man is here today to coincide with this military exercise, so let's start at this time." Yuan Shikai said.

Then ordered the flag soldiers to signal the start of the military exercise.

Wang Bin and Deng Jichun stood on the command platform with Yuan Shikai and Wang Yingkai looking at the military exercise in the distance.

At this time, the 2nd Battalion had already set up all its machine guns on the position, waiting for the 1st Battalion to attack.

After waiting for five minutes, a battalion of troops began to appear on the horizon, attacking in formation.

At this time, Ma Zikai said: "Hey, a few of you said that if I take a group of soldiers to follow the cover of the terrain and detour back to the rear of the first battalion to attack from the flank, and then you are charging, what about it?" ”

"This is a good idea, Ma Zikai didn't expect you to come up with such an idea, not bad, not bad, there is progress." Gu Chen boasted

"That's right, since it's been said for a while, it's decided." Ma Zikai said impatiently

"But, didn't the adults tell us that it's okay to hold the position, isn't this a little bad?" Xu Dajun said a little honestly. "The army, what you said is not right, why do you want to stay here if you can win."

Ma Zikai retorted, "Then we won't say anything, let's just put the position away, you go to the opposite back road." “

Xu Dajun said with some embarrassment. "Okay, don't discuss it, take a detour and a quick detour, the first battalion has already begun to charge." Lin Hao said, and the sound of firefighting was already heard on the battlefield. "Listen, the second team is ready to take a detour with me." Ma Zikai shouted

Wang Bin and Deng Jichun in the distance were watching the exercise, and suddenly Yuan Shikai, who was holding a telescope, put down the telescope and said to Wang Yingkai, "Brother Shaochen, you have a good nephew, I am afraid that your nephew will win this military exercise." “

Yuan Shikai seemed to see something, "Brother Weiting, why did he say this." “

Wang Yingkai asked with some confusion: "Just look at it." “

At this moment, Ma Zikai had already penetrated into the rear of the first battalion and launched an attack, which immediately caught the first battalion by surprise.

At this time, Deng Jichun also saw the doorway.

Said bitterly: "Wang Guan Belt has a hand that is clearly defensive, but secretly he sent a team of soldiers around the rear to catch my battalion off guard, and the foolish brother is willing to bow down." ”

As soon as Deng Jichun finished speaking, Lin Hao, Gu Chen, and Xu Dajun were on the position in the distance, and immediately seized the opportunity and began to charge, and Ma Zikai attacked back and forth.

The first battalion suddenly began to rout, and the military exercise also divided the winners and losers.

At this moment, Wang Bin was also dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, this is different from the script, when did I let them go around.

His original intention was to use the machine guns on the position for attrition, and the original intention was to highlight the importance of guns when defending.

But he played a beautiful roundabout tactic, which was also something he didn't expect.

But Wang Bin was still very normal at this time, and comforted Deng Jichun

"Alas, friendship first, competition second, why should Deng Guanband be frustrated next time to win back." "Well, yes, Brother Shaochen, your nephew does have a hand in war training, and I have also read the training policy written in that is very reasonable.

I have decided to vigorously promote it among my Beiyang armies, and as for the matter you said, Brother Shaochen, I will definitely report it to the imperial court after I go back this time, and I will not let you down. “

Yuan Shikai said to Wang Yingkai. "Then I'll have to thank Brother Wei Ting." Wang Yingkai replied with a happy face

After the exercise, Wang Yingkai and Yuan Shikai left first, and Wang Bin and Deng Jichun also left after a few polite words, and went to find Ma Zikai and them.

After Wang Bin found Ma Zikai and them, he learned about the incident on the way back to the camp, and finally solved the doubts in his heart.

It turned out that Ma Zikai changed the plan on the spot and insisted on attacking in a roundabout way.

Wang Bin said in his heart, no wonder he didn't play according to the routine during the military exercise, it turned out to be Ma Zikai's ghost idea, although Ma Zikai did not follow the script to cause Wang Bin to fail to reflect the importance of the machine gun, but Ma Zikai did this to make the second battalion win beautifully, so he didn't say anything.
