"The latest German-made Rhine mountain gun, caliber 75, rate of fire 15 / min. There are not many such guns in our army, and there are only 192 in total. It is a pity that the artillery is not infantry, there is a shortage of manpower, and only 96 are currently in the ranks. The other half is in the warehouse, and when the student soldiers graduate next year, they will be able to use it. ”

Yang Yanchang is speechless, it's too shocking! There are only a few cannons in the entire Ninth Town! This Lord Fang is really rich, which shows the importance he attaches to artillery. It's a pity that I'm an infantryman, otherwise I'd have come here to work as an artilleryman.

Then I went to another warehouse, this time a little better, but it was enough to hit people. Just in time for the troops to come to receive the light machine gun, watching being carried out with a machine gun, Duan Feng kept introducing: "German-made light machine gun, one for each squad... Volume 2 Chapter 10 Joins Forces with the Ninth Town (II).... ”

slipped away to the three warehouses, and Yang Yanchang still had Duan Feng in his ears introducing: "We adults advocate digging deep holes and accumulating grain." Less empty talk! Do more practical things! Prepare for war! Train your best soldiers! Wait for the right moment to overthrow the Manchu rule in one fell swoop. What you see has been in preparation for more than three years. ”

The joy brought by the new uniforms and pistols was shocked by this wave of visits. Compared with the Anhui Revolution, the ninth town is simply a beggar!

Things were done quickly, and when he returned to the barracks, he just caught up for dinner, Duan Feng invited guests to the canteen, and Yang Yanchang was deeply speechless again. The situation in the canteen really makes people have the urge to jump the Yangtze River. The enamel rice bowl is counted on everyone, and each person also hangs an aluminum kettle, when making rice, a bowl of rice, a spoonful of braised pork, and a spoonful of fried Chinese cabbage, and the rice below cannot be seen when pressed on the rice surface.

It's a little too good to eat, isn't it? Yang Yanchang, who was basically numb, still sighed.

Duan Feng said with a smile on the side: "You are typical of seeing thieves eating meat, but you don't see thieves being beaten." Anhui Revolution ordered the army, two exercises a day, and there were emergency drills from time to time. Frequent emergency gatherings in the middle of the night. Armed and pulled out, he ran twenty miles. If you don't eat better, who can top the second volume of the tenth chapter of the sea and the ninth town (below) to live such a large amount of training? I'll just say that, anyone in the military. Including adults. It can be pulled out at any time, and it only takes one day to march 50 kilometers in a hurry, which is a hard indicator. Otherwise, just wait for the military regulations set by the adults to clean you up! ”

"How do you clean it up?" Yang Yanchang looked yearning and asked very untidy.

Duan Feng smiled: "When I first joined the teaching team. The whole class followed me to clean the toilet for a month and wash the team's stinky socks for a month. To this day, I can vomit when I see stinky socks. ”

Yang Yanchang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. But I couldn't laugh after a while, and the reason was simple. Duan Feng began to talk about Lord Fang's great achievements again. The landlords in Wuhu County have long since stopped collecting land rent, and every peasant family has to raise pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, and the landlords in each village can earn more by selling fodder and buying pigs. Don't worry that no one wants it, the meat factory is open, and you want as much as you want. Supply the rest of the troops, but also for takeaways, as well as canneries production needs. Shrewd landlords also take shares in various enterprises. The annual dividend is not a little bit stronger than the annual rent collection. Heaven and earth are not excessive.

Just rushing to these, it is not too much to say that Fang Jianxiong is a genius of the sky.

Han Ming hurried overnight, and it was already early in the morning when he arrived at Ziling Pass. Because of the recent hostility of the old army, the old and new armies clashed from time to time, and they almost went off. Xu Shaojiao and Shen Tongwu were worried, and their subordinates' desire to fight was relatively strong. There are only three bullets per person, and there is nothing good for the two of them. Discussions were held late into the night. I slept late.

Before Shen Tong went to bed, he also explained to the guards, and Yang Yanchang and Han Ming came back. Report immediately.

As soon as he lay down and didn't sleep for a while, the guards came to report that Han Ming had returned. Shen Tongwu was woken up in a daze, there was news so soon? Quickly washed his face and came out, Han Ming stepped forward to salute.

"It's hard work, is something wrong?" Shen Tongwu was worried that something would happen to the two of them halfway, and it would take at least two days to go to Anqing by land, and they went out yesterday morning, so why did they come back.

"There was no accident, out of Jiangning, I heard someone say that Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuhu. We went to bang our luck, but we didn't expect to be caught on the docks. Lord Fang is cautious, and it will be fine to find someone to interrogate him clearly. Han Ming hurriedly explained, and Shen Tongwu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, let's go see Lord Xu and talk as we go." ”

Shen Tongwu was so anxious that he didn't even salivate, and Han Ming was also anxious and didn't care about this. When they set off left and right, the soldiers gave them a kettle, which was enough to drink on the way. While walking, Han Ming talked about the process this time. Han Ming said quickly, and when he arrived at Xu Shaojiao's residence, he had already finished speaking. Shen Tongwu is an old soldier, and he was dumbfounded after hearing it. Fang Jianxiong's big equation dù is really surprising, forget it. His Anhui Revolution Army actually has a heavy artillery brigade? Is this still a local force? How does this make the famous Ninth Town embarrassing?

The sleepy-eyed Xu Shao came out, and Han Ming had to say it again. said that he took the kettle by himself and drank it all to sleep. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the two adults were looking at the kettle in their hands, and said casually: "American goods, as long as Lord Fang is a soldier, each person will be given one." By the way, there are also enamel jars, such a big mouth, tied around the waist. A set of backpacks with raincoats and military blankets. ”

Xu Shaojiao was quite steady, waved his hand and said, "Tell me about the situation!" Han Ming came again, and Xu Shao's mouth couldn't close after he finished speaking. Dafang into this? Even Makqin's pointed bullets and cannonballs have been thought of, this thoughtful and meticulous. The last condition can indeed be understood, which roughly means that they want to join forces to fight Nanjing. You have to discuss it clearly in advance to determine what to do, right?

"I'll go to Wuhu in person, it's not far anyway, and two days back and forth is enough." Xu Shaojiao decided to leave now on the spot, and Shen Tongwu said: "It's better for me to go, in case it ......." ”

Xu Shaojiao waved his hand and said, "No case, what else can Fang Jianxiong do to me?" You stay, take care of the troops! Don't make a mess, explain to the officers below, just say that the problem of ammunition is again, and let them wait patiently. ”

Xu Shaojiao was anxious about the guards, and set off before dawn. When I arrived in Wuhu, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Han Ming made another hard trip and led the way to the headquarters outside Wuhu City. Fang Jianxiong happened to be in the headquarters, and asked a few German instructors to take a group of newly graduated staff officers to do a pre-war exercise.

Knowing that Xu Shaojiao was coming, Fang Jianxiong immediately came out to greet him. The two met and looked at each other, Fang Jianxiong saw that the person who came was fair-skinned, dressed in a military uniform and Confucian general, and was about to salute first, Xu Shaojiao had already raised his hand and saluted: "Commander Fang!" ”

This attitude surprised Fang Jianxiong very much, Xu Shaojiao is much older, and his qualifications are much older than himself. actually saluted first, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Xu is too polite, I should salute first." ”

When Xu Shaojiao saw Fang Jianxiong, he sighed in his heart about the other party's youth, especially what he saw and heard along the way, and he admired it in his heart when he didn't see anyone. At the beginning of the autumn exercise in Taihu Lake, Fang Jianxiong went, and the two never met, so Fang Jianxiong escorted Zhu Jiabao away. Unexpectedly, Fang Jianxiong launched a military coup d'état and took Anqing without bloodshed. It can be seen that this person's scheming and strategy, and his forbearance makes people subconsciously give birth to a trace of awe.

In fact, Xu Shaojiao didn't have to, Fang Jianxiong could bear it, that was because he knew that on the day of Xinhai's revolution, it would not be his turn to be the first bird.

"Needless to say, I'm here to ask someone to do something!" Xu Shaojiao laughed as he spoke, and Fang Jianxiong hurriedly invited him in. Walking into the hall of the war room, Xu Shaojiao was attracted by the sand table in the middle at a glance, and strode forward to take a closer look. The young officers on the side got out of the way, and several German instructors chattered one after another.

The sand table clearly marked the various military points of Jiangning, including the location of the ninth town, mountains, rivers, confluences, and roads, which are clear at a glance. It can be seen that Fang Jianxiong has done a careful job in advance, these are the results of the spy company going out to investigate, and Li Muyan will be responsible for this matter in the future.

Only halfway through the deduction, Xu Shaojiao smiled and said: "Commander Fang, it's better to continue to recommend it now, and take a look at it later." ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled and nodded at the German instructor Hamilton, this German artilleryman is now doing the work of the chief of the general staff of the headquarters.

"Several key points outside Nanjing are heavily guarded, but fortunately, the number of artillery is limited, and the equipment is far inferior to our army. Among them, the most difficult to attack is the commanding heights of Tianbao City. Our army attacked Nanjing with the strength of two infantry divisions and one heavy artillery brigade, and it was completely easy to win. ”

Fang Jianxiong had been watching, and he would interject: "Lord Xu, it's better to do this, our army will take Yuhutai first, and then attack Tianbao City with the strength of one division and one heavy artillery brigade." The ninth town was responsible for attacking along the line of Wulong Mountain, Shogunate Mountain, and Lion Mountain, and went straight to the Xiaguan Wharf to block the two retreat routes. ”

Xu Shaojiao stared at the sand table for a while, and had some doubts in his heart, but after thinking about it, he said, "Yes!" ”

Fang Jianxiong said again: "Before the war, our army's fanfare let Jiangning know that your army lacked heavy firepower, so the pressure would be lighter. ”

Xu Shaojiao was secretly ashamed in his heart when he heard this, and just now he suspected that Fang Jianxiong had the intention of letting the Ninth Town consume first. Now it seems that people don't think that way at all, and Tianbao City, which is the most difficult to fight, has taken the initiative to ask to fight.

"Just in case, I sent a surprise army to cross the river from Wuhu and go straight to Pukou. Defeat the Jiangfang battalion! Hamilton sternly mentioned, Fang Jianxiong glanced at it for a while and said: "Hamilton, you have to remember that your current position is acting chief of staff, and the specific combat opportunities are determined by you, and the task of the army is to resolutely carry it out, even I can't interfere." ”

"Understood, my Commander! I decided to send a cavalry regiment and a security regiment from Wuhu in advance and quietly approached Pukou. Hit him off guard! Fang Jianxiong nodded with satisfaction, Xu Shaojiao was shocked when he saw this, Fang Jianxiong was completely copying the system of the German army here, and the battle plan formulated by the General Staff was the largest. In practice, it is very difficult for officers at all levels to have actual control over the military!!
