Now that Li Zhigao has made a decision, the others are resolutely implementing it.

Don't look at the fact that the Glorious Party has now become the Glorious Restoration Society, but in fact, in Taiping Mansion, from the political axe to the military, from the official to the non-governmental, all levels of departments are still controlled by the members of the old Glorious Party, and the Restoration Party is just a different name. The new members of the Restoration Society soon discovered that if they didn't interfere in anything, they would just do what they were told, and if they wanted to have any ideas for power, it would be a dream.

In other words, after more than half a year of building, through better and better material security and the modern version of propaganda and agitation, Li Zhigao's authority has been deeply rooted in the local people's hearts, as long as an order is given, whether it is right or wrong, whether it is to go to heaven or hell, the people here will follow without hesitation.

Now, Li Zhigao no longer has to bow down to everything, and after he gives the order, the people below will be responsible at all levels.

In the people, there is no need for Li Zhigao to deliberately instigate at all, and the Wumaozhong, who has been transferred to the responsibility of the Internal Investigation Bureau, will continue to guide the people according to the methods they have learned in advance.

For example, the Wumaozhong first intimidated, mostly starting with "Have you heard?", first saying that the Qing court did not see our good, and wanted to plunder our achievements, and wanted to return to the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes that were in the past, or even worse, and they wanted to massacre the city as before, and so on. When everyone is worried, they immediately turn around again and say that our chairman has made a decision on what to do for the sake of the people and the people, and further tell the people how strong they are and how weak the enemy is, and then the people will immediately turn their worries into joy. After saying this, these five-cents will say again, the chairman is so exhausted, we also have to do what we can, what is within our power? We may not be able to fight, but we can catch the enemy!

In this way, the people in the city began to spontaneously gather around the neighborhood committees at all levels, and while using their spare time to practice fire-fighting and disaster relief and transportation of materials, they further mobilized the masses of the people to catch the enemy's special activities.

Is it easy? It's really simple, but how much is the vulnerability? It is true that there are many loopholes, but there is no way, this is the people of this era, and the thinking of people in this era is so simple, because most of these people are illiterate!

Students are even more different, the students' cultural level is high, the quality is also high, and there are organizations at all levels in the school, such as the Young Pioneers in primary schools, the Communist Youth League in middle schools, and party branches in universities.

In other words, all students have to engage in military training while studying, and military training will use the new Zhongzheng rifle, and when necessary, students can pull out and fight. Of course, their learning is not a field battle, but a street fight.

This is the case in the city of Taipingfu, and the situation outside the city is different.

Since the first-level mobilization order has been issued, the village officials in each village, that is, the Rural Security Council, immediately took action, directly summoned the villagers, and then opened the arsenal, began to distribute guns according to the registered situation, and required the first-level reservists to assemble at the designated time and place, and usually mainly conduct training and patrols, and listen to the instructions from above at any time.

Of course, because the reserve has not been started for a long time, and since the time for rural areas to join the peasant association security system varies from place to place, the mobilization capacity also varies.

Like the two experimental villages in Li Zhigao's original private territory, as well as the four villages close to the experimental village, the mobilization ability is the strongest, they have completed the mobilization and assembly, and can form an army of 40,000 at any time, with actual combat effectiveness, Li Zhigao said before that the 40,000 reserves in the 150,000 army refer to the strength of these areas, but it does not mean that there is only so much here.

Like other remote villages, there may be only 100 people in a village, or even only a dozen first-class mobilized soldiers, and without exception, these people are all men, not women. It's not that they don't have more people, it's just that that's all there is to the reserves, and it's related to the lack of propaganda.

You must know that it is not Li Zhigao's private territory, and unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not force others to listen to his own set.

For example, in Li Zhigao's experimental village, the main reason why so many soldiers and horses were able to be mobilized was that these two villages had already achieved mechanization, had a large number of agricultural machinery, and the labor force had been greatly liberated, and the people's hearts of the villagers were also tightly tied to Li Zhigao's body, so that they could enthusiastically participate in the reserves. In other places, because they did not practice the practice of cracking down on local tyrants and dividing up the land, they instead set up farm federations and united the landlord class, and although they also gave the peasants a little sweetness, the organizational ability of the grassroots was a little worse.

Fortunately, there are advantages to the disadvantages, although there are no landlords in other places, but through the operation of the farm federations, the contradictions between the landlords and the tenant farmers have been alleviated, which is good for alleviating social contradictions and making the rural society more stable.

As for the 100,000 construction corps, each of them was given weapons, and they were told of the current situation through the members of the party organizations at all levels, but they continued to carry out construction in normal times, and they were only used when needed. But don't say it, because of this, these builders who have no worries about food and clothing once again showed their enthusiasm, and kept swearing to express their determination, while building a good home, they resolutely did not allow the lackeys of the Qing Dynasty to come and destroy!

It's very simple, because when these construction corps were building the city, they had already promised them that the new city would have their place, that is, they would build a residential area specifically for them to live in, and when the time came, their families could live in the new city and enjoy the treatment of the new city!

No one knows better than the builders the benefits of the new city, which is a modern city that has been thinking about plumbing and drainage from the very beginning, and there are various incentives for the citizens who live here in the future, such as the schooling of their children, which of course stimulates the enthusiasm of these construction workers.

Now, when I heard that the Qing army actually wanted to snatch the fruits of their victory, it was naturally resolutely not allowed! If it weren't for the fact that the organizations at all levels tried their best to restrain and explain that the chairman's army could completely defeat the Qing army, they would all want to stop working immediately and go to war with guns.

All in all, the entire Taiping Mansion, at least in Dangtu County, the city where Li Zhigao had the most serious infiltration, was mobilized inside and outside because of the matter of the soldiers pressing the border, both inside and outside the city, there was a lot of excitement and confidence, which surprised and shocked the local outsiders.

Especially those foreigners who stayed here, because they knew more, so they were even more shocked by this, not only surprised by this mobilization ability, but also frightened by this kind of popular fanaticism, so foreigners basically did not go to the street easily, and even if they went to the street, they were cautious, they all took the avenue with police patrols, and did not dare to take the small road.

Although these foreigners also know that although this city treats foreigners and Chinese equally, the laws and regulations implemented are in accordance with the West, so they can accept them in normal times, but they can't be powerful. However, it was normal times, and everyone was usually safe, but who knows if they could continue to be safe and sound in a frenzied situation like this? The turmoil of the boxing chaos, they still remember it vividly.

Fortunately, because of the constraints and guidance of organizations at all levels, the people's anger this time is mainly aimed at the Qing political axe, and there is really nothing to do with foreigners, but after a long period of subtle change by the Wumao, ordinary people are no longer so hostile to those foreigners.

At this moment, inside and outside the city of Taipingfu, whether it is the small citizens in the city, or the small farmers outside the city, whether it is students, workers or businessmen, they have all been mobilized, and they are quickly infected by this atmosphere, and at the same time they are nervous, but also contain excitement.

Although it has only been more than half a year, everyone is not a fool, and everyone has seen all the changes in Taiping Mansion in their eyes and hearts, and they all thank Li Zhigao for his goodness. As for fear, there may be, but it is mainly a small number, such as some businessmen, but grassroots groups such as students, workers, and peasants are not afraid at all.

Not for anything else, because these people have begun to blindly worship Li Zhigao under the long-term guidance of the Wumaozhong, and they believe that under the leadership of Chairman Li Zhigao, all reactionary forces are paper tigers, and as long as the chairman and the soldiers come out, they will inevitably disappear!

Although the people inside and outside the city have been mobilized, which makes people very surprised by the power contained in it, Li Zhigao and others understand that these can only be auxiliary, and in the final analysis, it is the army in Li Zhi's hand that can defend the fruits of victory, or in other words, the main division in his hands!

Whether it is a reserve or a construction corps, although it may be no problem for them to defend the city with one gun per person, but if they go out to fight, they have not experienced much war, the situation is really not optimistic. It is precisely because of this that Li Zhigao made people make the momentum bigger, the purpose is to demonstrate and intimidate, and buy strategic time for himself!

Li Zhigao's plan was to let the strongest tractor-based reserve division go to Fanchang County in the west to defend and prevent the Anqing soldiers and horses in the direction of Tongling. There are the least number of people, the worst strength, and the farthest away from themselves, put a reserve division, plus two fighter squadrons, and believe that the defense is no problem.

In fact, Li Zhigao and others have already deduced and found that according to the current situation, Anqing is probably only here to play soy sauce, because he has the smallest number of people, the farthest away from him, and the slowest to move, so it is clear that he will first see what the situation is with the soldiers and horses in the east. However, if they are defeated, they will turn the virtual into the real, and it is certain that they will come.

The reserve division that went to Fanchang County for defense was all from Li Zhigao's experimental village and the two surrounding villages that were first attached, and the 12,000 men in the division were carefully selected, 10,000 were young and strong male soldiers, and only 2,000 were female soldiers.

These people have been trained for the longest time and have the best quality, and in addition to the homemade 92 infantry guns and 90-mm mortars, the original Krupp 75-mm guns were also given to them, plus two flying squadrons to provide air support, the defense should be no problem. As for the division commander of this division, it was personally commanded by Zhou Daqiang, and the staff committee was composed of three staff officers from the Taiping Military Academy, all of whom were top 10 students in the examination. With these armies here, as long as they follow the usual infantry ** code, they may not be able to fight a beautiful battle, but the defense is still fine.

In particular, it should be pointed out that this reserve division has all been converted into horse-pulling tractors. In other words, a large number of walk-behind tractors that Li Zhigao had equipped for his experimental village and Soviet heavy horses from later generations were given to this reserve division.

There were 12,000 men in the division, with a total of 800 walk-behind tractors, 220 Su heavy tractors, and more than 300 other mules and horses. That is to say, with these, the whole army not only has the mobility of materials been guaranteed, but when marching, the soldiers do not have to walk, they are directly riding horses and tractors, and the marching speed of the whole army can be maintained at 25 kilometers per hour, and this marching speed can be maintained for a long time!

You must know that if ordinary people rely on walking, even if they are lightly armed, the fastest marching speed will not exceed 15 kilometers per hour, and by walking, physical strength will decline quickly, and it is difficult to bring many heavy weapons, because heavy weapons cannot keep up. However, if you rely on tractors and horses, you can avoid long marches, increase the speed of the march, and reduce fatigue.

Obviously, there is nothing in the whole country that can compare with the tractor-pulling horse, so this reserve division, if compared with other armies, can be seen as the main division.

However, if this First Reserve Division is compared to Li Zhigao's main division, it will be a small matter!

Li Zhigao's main division now has a total of more than 14,000 people, and needless to say, it is needless to say that it is the absolute first in the world in terms of firepower. But in the same way, because of the strong firepower, this unit is very dependent on logistics, and if it does not have a strong logistics delivery capacity, this force simply cannot afford to consume.

In order to improve the logistical transportation capacity of his own troops, and to improve his own mobility, Li Zhigao successively purchased 3,000 low-speed trucks from Hyundai.

These low-speed trucks, are the same design scheme, assembled in several manufacturers, all painted in army green, the engine uses 220 horsepower domestic diesel engine, non-bearing body, four-wheel drive, widened tires, increase the fuel tank, strengthen the suspension, mechanical instrument panel, plus dump bucket, the minimum ground clearance reaches 406 mm, the exhaust pipe is the same as the tractor, in short, it is to remove all the comfortable and beautiful things, the pure pursuit of practicality and off-road surname, absolute leather resistance.

Li Zhigao's customized low-speed truck has a maximum speed of only 90 kilometers per hour and an economic speed of 50 kilometers per hour, but it has strong horsepower and strong off-road passing ability. Don't look at the only 220 horsepower, but on the dirt road, it is no problem to pull forty or fifty tons, and it is easy to pull a cannon, even a 130-mm cannon howitzer weighing more than nine tons.

It is no problem for a truck to pull at least three shifts, but in order to speed up the march, Li Zhigao stipulated that one truck should pull one shift, including all the weapons and equipment of the squad, so that 14,000 people will have to pull 1,200 trucks just by pulling people, and the other trucks will all pull heavy equipment, ammunition, food, fuel, and other logistical materials.

The entire motorized division is equipped with a total of 2,500 low-speed trucks, most of which are used to pull logistical supplies, and the entire truck fleet can maintain a marching speed of 50 kilometers per hour on official roads, and 35 kilometers per hour on bad roads.

If it was before, it would be unthinkable to equip the troops with so many trucks, because the trucks are easy to get out, but the drivers are difficult to get out, but after more than half a year, through continuous assault training, Li Zhigao now has more than 4,000 drivers, although most of the skills are just average, they have just learned to drive, and they are absolute beginners, but if they form a convoy to follow the front, it is still no problem.

Of course, it is precisely because the driver's level is not enough, so for the sake of safety, the marching speed is set at 50 kilometers per hour on the official road surface and 35 kilometers per hour on the bad road, which does not mean that there is a problem with the car, but to take care of the driver's ability.

In addition to these customized simple low-speed trucks, in fact, there are many real off-road trucks in the army, these off-road trucks are all Thunder Dragon off-road military trucks purchased by Li Zhigao from Hyundai, and their abilities in all aspects cannot be compared with these customized simple cars, but these trucks are not equipped for ordinary main divisions, but for their own special forces.

Li Zhigao's special forces have now expanded to a battalion, and this special battalion has a total of 3 special assault companies, 1 artillery company, and 1 baggage company. Among them, the special assault company is a copy of the original special company, and the weapons and equipment are the same as before, and the main thing that has changed is the artillery company.

In order to increase the number of mobile surnames, the fire support platoon originally assigned to the company level was withdrawn from the towed Type 63 107-mm rocket launcher and replaced with six vehicle-mounted 75-mm recoilless guns, while the Type 63 107-mm rocket launcher was all concentrated and equipped with an artillery company.

That is to say, in this special battalion, all of them have been motorized, and in the ordinary special assault platoon, each squad is equipped with a Thunder off-road truck; The fire support platoon consisted of six off-road vehicles with 75 mm recoilless guns, plus six off-road truck ammunition trucks with 12.7 mm machine guns. Among them, the off-road vehicle with a 75-mm recoilless gun was equipped with a vehicle with five people, while the truck ammunition truck was a vehicle with four people. As for the fire battery, there were 30 off-road trucks loaded with rockets, and behind the trucks were towed Type 63 107-mm rocket launchers.

It can be said that the special battalion is still Li Zhigao's assault knife, and it is a special operations force under his direct command, and it will only be put into use when the situation cannot be opened at the front.

Although the division was equipped with so many trucks, and Li Zhigao also had a lot of ammunition in reserve, Li Zhigao understood that with the firepower he gave the whole division, if he didn't keep up and relied on the ring to cheat, then the division's sustained combat effectiveness would not be strong.

Therefore, whether it is to reduce the pressure on logistics or to get over the addiction of commanding thousands of troops, Li Zhigao has to personally lead the team, even if others try to persuade him, it is useless.

Just kidding, Li Zhigao knows the combat effectiveness of his troops best, and as long as there are no major problems, no one can stop him.

Now, he not only has a motorized army main division, but also two mixed bomber squadrons that can be supported at any time, and the enemy's intelligence is almost understood, not only does not have an air force, but also does not have much heavy artillery, so he decided to come to a blitzkrieg in the late Qing Dynasty, use the fastest speed to break the Qing army in the direction of Nanjing, and then turn around and eat the Qing army in Anqing directly, so that outsiders can see that he Li Zhigao is not so easy to bully.

Now, the officers and men of the whole division are ready to go, the automobile team has also started the engines, and the soldiers are all in a proper manner, facing the review stand, waiting for Li Zhigao to finish his oath and immediately leave for the front.

Regarding the oath, in fact, someone had already written it for Li Zhigao, but when I took a look at it, there were a lot of people in it, and there were a large number of quotations and classics, so Li Zhigao simply threw away the manuscript, waved his hand directly on the review stand, and shouted with a megaphone: "The whole army - go!" (To be continued.) )
