Volume 2 Chapter 6 Wuhu Consolidation
Chapter 6 of the vicissitudes of the sea, Wuhu reorganization
The new troops are busy, and so are the docks. Fang Jianxiong calculated the time, and arrived at the ship in the past few days. There were six ships of cargo before and after, two of which brought back heavy artillery and trainees from Qingdao, one loaded with equipment needed from Ma'anshan, and the remaining three were all munitions from Shanghai. can be for this day, Fang Jianxiong's net worth smashed into more than half.
The newly formed army is definitely not as good as the veterans of the Beiyang Army for many years, and can only spend some money on equipment.
In Fang Jianxiong's view, this is an era of fighting for strength, and Anqing's side quarrels all day long for the government, which is ridiculous in Fang Jianxiong's opinion. Nima's big guy is lying on his stomach in Zhangde, Henan, and he is about to go out of the mountain.
Wuhu was busy outside the city, and new troops were formed every day. This gang of guys who went out to mix bandits in the second volume of the vicissitudes of the sea and the sixth chapter of Wuhu reorganization is quite capable, and it has only been less than a year to get so many people back. Fang Jianxiong asked several "bandit" leaders, and the answers of these guys were the same. Anhui floods continue during the New Year, and the south and north of the Yangtze River are like this, only the surrounding areas of Wuhu are a little better.
These recruited soldiers, if they don't become "bandits", they will die and die. Rise up, there is really no problem with the loyalty of these soldiers. After a period of training, the basic qualities of these recruits are still okay, that is, the cultural level is too low, it is no problem to drop guns and bombs, and there is basically no possibility for technical troops.
Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong made enough preparations, and it turned out that when the patrol battalion recruited soldiers, it was also given priority to being educated, and the treatment was good. In addition, each company has arranged cultural instructors, and the compulsory literacy effect of the soldiers of the original unit has come out.
The second batch of teaching team members graduated ahead of schedule. These more than 100 grass-roots officers have played a significant role, and if some outstanding soldiers are promoted from among the original soldiers, the grass-roots officers of the two divisions are basically enough. There are still more soldiers, and all of them have become pure infantry security regiments.
Each division belongs to a 75-mm artillery regiment, an artillery regiment and two battalions, a battalion and three companies, and the second volume of the sixth chapter of Wuhu reorganization. There were no six guns. One division with two brigades. Each brigade has an artillery battalion, which is equipped with 37 guns, which is basically the same equipment as the first division in Anqing. Fang Jianxiong didn't plan to engage in eccentricity, so that's all he needs now. The biggest difference between the two places is that the troops on the Wuhu side have a special type of blocker. In normal times, they train individually, and each company sends two to each company during battle. The guns are all K98 modifications. It's a pity that there are not many K98 stocks. Only the second division can be equipped, and the rest of the troops are still using the 1888 improved version, which can fire pointed bullets.
Among them, the most special is the guard regiment that transports cold rain, this cargo regiment is four battalions, among which there is also a machine gun battalion, mules and horses are consigned, and one company of 82 mortars and 60 mortars are equipped. The infantry was all submachine guns, and Fang Jianxiong's family was all cleaned by him. Just such a regiment's melee salvo firepower can top the previous infantry division.
However, Fang Jianxiong can only raise such a group, and if there are too many, he will have to go bankrupt. Wuhu reorganization is in Fang Jianxiong's mind. The most important point is to set up a life instructor officer, referred to as an instructor, in the unit at the company level! The role of this instructor is mainly to take care of the aspects of life, and even whoever has difficulties is in charge of him. This position may seem a bit nondescript, but it does play an important role in the future army.
Wuhu reorganization. Fang Jianxiong's military team was determined.
After Anqing was electrified, it was very surprising that Jiangning did not move at all, and actually did not come to Wuhu to fight Wuhu, but retreated into the city, and transferred the Ninth Town, a unit with a criminal record, to Ziling Pass, and collected the bullets.
October 23rd. Ma Yubao, the 53rd standard commander of the Jiujiang New Army, rebelled, Jiujiang was recovered, and Ma Yubao served as the governor. Fang Jianxiong was greatly distressed when he heard the news, and kept muttering about Jiujiang on the map in his office. The two fortresses of Madang and Hukou were stuck on the neck of the Yangtze River, and they were actually attacked by this guy first.
"Hey! I knew that I would do it first, and now I can't fight the revolutionary army, right? When Fang Jianxiong was complaining to himself, the two division commanders came. Due to the lack of high-level military talents, Fang Jianxiong could only let two Germans serve as division commanders of the second and third divisions. These two German lieutenants actually have today, and these two have been walking with the wind these days. Motivation is really called breaking through the sky!
"Sir, the heavy artillery brigade is drawn by mules and horses, which is too wasteful. Why not use a car? Jensen came in and shouted, Cheng Zhixuan's heavy artillery brigade is now the treasure of the whole army, equipped with 24 105 howitzers and 24 150 howitzers, and it will all depend on the heavy artillery brigade to fight tough battles in the future.
Fang Jianxiong, who was reminded, pulled out of his grievances and nodded: "I'll have someone send a telegram to Fisher, and there is also a wireless telegraphy, which will also be introduced in large quantities." ”
While talking, Fang Jianxiong explained to Master Shi, who is also from Shaoxing and Li Muyan's fellow villager. After explaining, Fang Jianxiong said to the two of them as he walked out: "Let's go, go to the heavy artillery brigade to see, how are your two divisions training?" ”
Jensen shrugged his shoulders and said, "The soldiers' suzhì can only be regarded as bearable, but these soldiers are very hard-trained and hard-working, and I believe that they will become excellent soldiers." ”
The heavy artillery brigade was stationed on the edge of Wuhu City, and Fang Jianxiong arrived in no more than five minutes. The barracks were able to train in full swing, and the 150 people trained by the German army were the basis, and the formation of the heavy artillery brigade was quite smooth.
The training is based on the operation process, and Jenson was very dissatisfied after watching it for a while: "Why don't you shoot a few live ammunition and see?" ”
Fang Jianxiong was distressed when he heard this: "Your lightness, now the Manufacturing Bureau can't make large-caliber grenades, 105 shells are 200 silver dollars a piece, this money is not yours, right?" ”
Jensen shut up in time, Fang Jianxiong looked around with a headache, but he didn't see Cheng Zhixuan bring someone to see the chief.
Just thinking about it, Cheng Zhixuan and his subordinates ran out of it. After coming to see the salute, Cheng Zhixuan reported excitedly: "My lord, this artillery brigade can be pulled out to fight in a few days of training, and I promise not to delay your major event." ”
Fang Jianxiong sighed: "I was still not fully prepared at the beginning, and the Manufacturing Bureau didn't know when it would be able to make a large-caliber grenade." This soldier didn't shoot a few live ammunition, don't get into the war. ”
Cheng Zhixuan's face darkened when she heard this, but she didn't dare to refute it. Fang Jianxiong waved his hand helplessly and said: "I have some blood, batch fifty shells, how can I get live ammunition, otherwise this soldier will be scared when he hears the sound of cannons." ”
Cheng Zhixuan likes to hear this, the hearts of the grandsons in the warehouse are harder than iron, and they refuse to give cannonballs.
As he was talking, a herald came to report that Shaanxi had been recovered, and another province announced its recovery after Anhui and Hunan.
"Zhixuan, by the end of this month at the latest, you must train the soldiers." Explaining, Fang Jianxiong went to the city, and someone came to report halfway through, and someone came to the house.
Fang Jianxiong returned home, and Li Xiehe and Yin Ruizhi were waiting in the hall. When he saw Fang Jianxiong, he arched his hand and said, "Fuguo, I'm here to trouble you again." ”
"Brother Fuguo, Anqing did a beautiful job!" Yin Ruizhi was a little off-topic, and stepped forward with excitement.
Both of them are from the Restoration Society, but they don't seem to be very compatible.
"Sit, where did you come from?" Fang Jianxiong asked with a smile. Li Xiehe said: "We came from Wuchang, and Governor Li Yuanhong asked us to go back to Shanghai and launch an uprising in response to Wuchang. He also asked me to bring you a letter. ”
Li Xiehe scooped out the letter, Fang Jianxiong opened it and saw that Li Yuanhong was very enthusiastic in his heart, first highly praised Anhui's independence, and then talked about his difficulties. It is already a reality that the Qing army is pressurized, and the six towns of the Beiyang Army have gone to nearly four, and Wuchang is under great pressure. The newly formed troops are in short supply of equipment, and it is best for Fang Jianxiong to send troops to support.
It is the revolutionaries who should help each other, but these revolutionaries do not regard themselves as outsiders either.
"Mr. Mu Yan, I'll read it, and you will write it." Fang Jianxiong was in front of the two of them, pacing and pondering: "Governor Jun Jian of Li Dadu, the letter has been read. The Wuchang Shouyi opened a chapter in the Chinese nation's re-entry towards prosperity and strength. History will remember the Wuchang Uprising, and history will remember October 10 in Xinhai year. The Governor of Li Dadu will also leave a strong mark in the annals of history. Regarding the corresponding Wuchang, I secretly thought that it was better to send troops to reinforce Wuchang than to defend by attacking. After the reorganization of our army is completed, we will launch an attack on Nanjing before the end of the month at the latest, and whether it succeeds or fails, it will greatly relieve the pressure on the Wuchang side. At the same time, our army set out from Anqing for the Northern Expedition, striving to go down to Bengbu in a battle. Once successful, the east and west of the two provinces will echo at that time, and the Qing army will not be able to take care of both. ……。 ”
All in all, if you don't want money, you don't want soldiers, you want guns, you have Hanyang Factory, you don't need my brother to worry about this.
Li Xiehe showed a little disappointment, Fang Jianxiong did not reinforce Wuchang, which was originally expected, but he still had a little hope. Historically, Li Yuanhong had the idea of taking Wuchang as the center of the revolution, and this person's ambition was not small. Fang Jianxiong doesn't know much about history, but it doesn't prevent him from knowing that Li Yuanhong later mixed well and became president.
When it comes to making wedding clothes for others, Fang Jianxiong doesn't have that much of a big mind.
"Brother Fuguo, we want to go back to Shanghai to launch an uprising!" Yin Ruizhi was still so angry, and Fang Jianxiong listened to the toothache. But after thinking about it, I decided to help them, at this time, the more trouble there is, the safer Fang Jianxiong will be here.
"I still have a batch of munitions in my warehouse at the Shanghai dock. There were about five hundred rifles, and fifty thousand rounds of ammunition. I'll write you a note, you go to Lihe & Foreign to find Mr. Victor, and he will arrange it. Fang Jianxiong decided to give a handful of blood at the end.
Personally sent these two to the boat, Fang Jianxiong was about to leave, but he didn't expect the guards to stop the two men and shout: "Is Lord Fang in front?" We are from Nanjing, and we have urgent matters to see. ”
The person who came was brought forward and arched his hand: "Yang Yanchang, the ninth town manager of the alliance member, has seen Brother Fuguo." ”
"Another Confederacy! When you see me, you don't call me an adult, are you still a soldier? Fang Jianxiong secretly felt unhappy in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Scoop it down!"
