Soon, Yang Xingguo told the army expansion plan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"In order to be a good fisherman in the next Russo-Japanese War, the combat effectiveness of several main regiments cannot be affected in any way because of the expansion of the army. Therefore, we have to go in two directions for this military expansion......"

"The main force has several main regiments, and the mountain artillery platoon has all been expanded into a mountain artillery company, equipped with six mountain artillery pieces."

"The battalion remains the same, and the machine gun squad equipped with the company has increased from one light machine gun to one light machine gun and one heavy machine gun."

"In this way, each regiment of the main force was armed with six mountain guns, eighteen heavy machine guns, and ten Madsen light machine guns."

"In terms of firepower, this has completely overwhelmed Lao Maozi as an infantry regiment."

Zhou Zhongju immediately nodded in agreement: "I agree to do this, just so that we can use all the captured heavy machine guns and mountain artillery, anyway, we have captured enough shells and heavy machine gun bullets from Lao Maozi." ”

"However, even so, we still have more than 30 mountain guns and more than 20 heavy machine guns left......"

Yang Xingguo nodded and continued: "I haven't finished talking yet......"

"The artillery battalion directly under the headquarters was expanded into an artillery regiment, under the jurisdiction of three artillery battalions of eighteen mountain guns, a baggage battalion, and a guard infantry battalion......"

"Directly under the guard battalion, the reconnaissance battalion was expanded into a reinforced battalion, and the heavy machine gun platoon was expanded into a heavy machine gun company."

"In this way, mountain artillery and heavy machine guns are almost used......"

Seeing the look of approval on Zhou Zhongju's face, Yang Xingguo continued.

"Let's talk about the garrison ......"

"After completing the transaction with Lao Maozi, the number of counties under our control will reach five."

"In the future, the battles faced by our Liaodong Army will definitely become more and more tragic, and even leave these counties to fight. Therefore, the five main regiments can no longer be separated, and they can be used as garrison troops, wasting troops......"

"So, I decided that each of the five county towns should set up a garrison of 1,000 people......"

"The garrison regimental company is fully equipped with rifles, and the battalion is armed with a heavy machine gun. The regiment was armed with three heavy machine guns and was responsible for the security and security of the precinct. Of course, these garrison regiments also have a task, that is, to provide a steady stream of reinforcements to the main regiment. ”

Zhou Zhongju, who is still in charge of the logistics of the Liaodong Army. Immediately approved: "Commander, set up a garrison regiment of five thousand people, there is no problem with rifles, and there are captured old Maozi rifles in the headquarters warehouse." ”

"Although the heavy machine guns are still a lot worse, there are still dozens of heavy machine guns that have been blown up in the repair shop. Just fix it halfway. can meet the needs of these garrison regiments. So, in terms of weapons and ammunition, there is no problem at all. ”

"In terms of troops, I can deal with the recruits. But the officers of the five garrison regiments must command you to solve the ......"

"It......'s very simple," Yang Xingguo replied briskly.

"Five main regiments, each regiment is responsible for forming a garrison regiment!"

"The main regiment drew out a company of veterans as the backbone of the garrison regiment to form a garrison regiment."

"Transfer a deputy battalion commander to serve as the commander of the garrison regiment......"

"After the establishment of the garrison regiment, it was completely separated from the main regiments and directly managed by the headquarters. The main forces will no longer interfere ......"

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and five garrison regiments were also established one after another in the past few days, and they began to recruit new soldiers and expand their troops.

For these things, of course, Yang Xingguo doesn't go back to care.

For several days in a row, Yang Xingguo locked himself in the headquarters, studied the map, and thought about how the Liaodong Army could be a good fisherman in the Russo-Japanese War that was about to break out.

That's when it happened. Wang Lin, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion who went out to investigate, returned.

After the negotiation with Lao Maozi, with a map of trading points, Yang Xingguo did not find the slightest trace of Lao Maozi's conspiracy against him. However, Yang Xingguo firmly believes. Lao Maozi must have a conspiracy in this, but he didn't find out.

So, Yang Xingguo, who couldn't let go of his heart, directly sent Wang Lin, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, to personally go to the area around the trading point to investigate.

"Battalion Commander Wang, what is the situation there, is there a place where there are possible soldiers around......" Yang Xingguo, who didn't want to be blackened by Lao Maozi. As soon as he saw Wang Lin, he asked.

Wang Lin shook his head and replied: "No ......"

"We checked the two-kilometer radius around the trading point, and the only thing that could be used to hide troops was a village."

"However, the village is not big, with only 100 households. Even if Lao Maozi really wanted to hide soldiers, he could only hide about one battalion. ”

"Am I really thinking too much?" This thought appeared again in Yang Xingguo's mind.

However, this thought disappeared in Yang Xingguo's mind only for a moment.

As a special forces soldier in his previous life, Yang Xingguo believed in his eyes.

In the calmness of Major General Lao Maozi, Lao Maozi's smile and excitement flashed, Yang Xingguo was confident that he was not mistaken.

"There must be something I didn't think of......" After a short period of contemplation, Yang Xing said to himself Chinese and firmly.

At this time, Wang Lin hurriedly said: "Commander, do you want the reconnaissance battalion to go to the trading point again to expand the scope of investigation......

In Yang Xingguo's view, two kilometers is already the search limit of the reconnaissance battalion.

Because, no matter how far away it is, even if Lao Maozi hides an ambush, it is impossible to cross the distance of two miles in a short time and catch up with himself who has already begun to retreat.

However, without any clue after racking his brains, Yang Xingguo could only hold the idea of trying his luck and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this time, you expand the detection range to five kilometers......"

"Within five kilometers, if there is no harvest yet, then withdraw first."

After Wang Lin left, Yang Xingguo was not in the mood to continue to think about how the Liaodong Army could be a good fisherman.

After a short hesitation, he directly called the commander of the guard company at the door in and asked, "Hasn't Major General Maozi, who came to negotiate, left yet?" ”

"No ......," the guard company commander quickly replied.

"Except for one Lao Maozi who was sent back to restore his life, the rest of Lao Maozi stayed in the headquarters, except for eating, all the rest of the time was closed."

"Shut down...... It shouldn't be! If I were him, I would definitely take this opportunity to take a good look at the strength of our Liaodong Army......" Yang Xingguo was stunned for a moment, and asked in a puzzled tone.

Then, the firm expression on his face became even stronger, and he said to himself, "It's too abnormal...... In a word, there must be demons in the abnormal, and there must be something wrong with this......"

Seeing that the expression on Yang Xingguo's face slowly became solemn, the guard company commander standing in front of him hurriedly retreated.

However, no matter what Yang Xingguo thought, he couldn't imagine what conspiracy Lao Maozi was hiding against the Liaodong Army.

A few days later, the reconnaissance battalion of the Liaodong Army reappeared at the designated trading place of the two armies.

In order to avoid Lao Maozi's suspicion and cause misunderstanding.

Hundreds of officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion, all dressed as ordinary people, worked in groups of two or three to conduct a dragnet search within a five-kilometer radius of the trading point. (To be continued.) )
