Chapter 337: Changing the defense of Malacca
The handover of Uncle Lao Gen and He Yu lasted for a week, and when all the affairs were completed, that is, when Uncle Lao Gen officially took office, the candidate for the overseas governor of Hong Kong had not yet been selected, but the new army battalion of the third battalion had arrived in Hong Kong with Uncle Lao Gen.
The soldiers of the third company are basically all recruits, except for a few officers, everyone else is recruited in a year or recently, such a unit that is basically dominated by recruits is not much in Australia, and the first company, that is, He Yu's unit, was expanded on the basis of veterans of nearly two classes.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the first company has been rapidly improved and strengthened under the method of bringing the old with the new, but the current third company is different, and its main personnel are new recruits. If you really encounter any war, it can be said that you have no experience in combat.
It is absolutely not safe for such a unit to be placed in Southeast Asia, where there are frequent wars, and the status and location environment of Hong Kong is the main purpose of their transfer here, the environment here is relatively peaceful and there is no war, and everyone can train well here and become an excellent soldier.
Wei Yan, the commander of the third company, is also one of the traversers, who is about the same age as He Yu, but he is not as early as He Yu in terms of enlistment, so his military rank is lower than He Yu, and he is currently only a lieutenant officer.
As for He Yu's first company, which is already the trump card unit within the army, in addition to the capital garrison, I am afraid that it is He Yu's company, and He Yu, a junior general, is also the fastest in the army.
But one thing has to be said, people are basically in the most dangerous frontier area, where there is danger, he is there, how can such a person not be promoted, even Makarov and others who followed him have received a lot of benefits for this reason.
According to information from the Army General Staff, the 1st Company was expanded to a battalion size after arriving in Malacca. The insufficient soldiers can be replenished in the old place, and this can be regarded as a benefit to He Yu and others, and the happiest in the expansion of the army is nothing more than the low-level officers, which means promotion for them.
Outside the barracks of the Hong Kong garrison, He Yu and Wei Yan walked forward side by side, and there were soldiers walking by on the road saluting the two.
"Wei Yan, Hong Kong will be handed over to you, there is not much war here, there is basically nothing to do except be responsible for guarding the border defense line, and you must also have a good relationship with the navy. When we were there, we would conduct regular joint military exercises with the navy once a month, which was a tradition of the Hong Kong Garrison, and it was also very important to have good relations with the local people, so I don't need to say more about this. ”
As a superior officer, He Yu did not have a serious explanation to the junior officers, although Wei Yan was a crosser, but after all, the military rank was much lower, so he still had to listen to He Yu's words.
"Yes, I will definitely take in mind the words of Chief He. You can rest assured," Wei Yan said with a smile: "I heard that the situation in Malacca is not very stable, and Heishui is often attacked by local natives there, so Chief He should be more careful in the past." ”
The Army General Staff Headquarters transferred He Yu to Malacca in order to take back the management from the black water. The second is to hope that he will exterminate all the natives who carried out sneak attacks in the past, and give Malacca a stable and peaceful development time, after all, the cooperative steamship project is placed here, and if there is no stable environment, it will definitely be affected.
This news has been known in advance. Where he is now being transferred is so that he can go to war, firstly, he is the main training officer in the army, in addition to preparing for him to be able to interfere in the internal war of the Ming Dynasty and fight independently in the future. On the other hand, he is also an officer who is valued by Liu Dongshui and his instrument, and he wants to make him the chief of the army general staff in the future, after all, the officers of the older generation will gradually get old.
It is not the first time that the natives of Malacca have often rioted, according to the news reported by Heishui, there have been more than 30 attacks in the incoming, and Heishui's current approach is to kill a hundred people, but because of Kalimantan's use of troops, they do not have enough strength to resist, this time He Yu past, Heishui will not withdraw immediately, but will carry out a joint sweeping operation with the first company to defend.
A month-long sweep of the indigenous tribes around Malacca, especially the frequent raids, will be completely wiped out.
He must take advantage of the peaceful environment in Hong Kong to train the Third Company as soon as possible and turn it into a truly combat-effective unit; of course, a strong combat strength of a unit is trained on the battlefield, and naturally it cannot be trained in a place like Hong Kong.
However, in order to facilitate their training tasks and enhance their combat effectiveness, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Consulate General in Guangzhou have already negotiated with Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, to allow the Third Wing to enter the border of Liangguang within a certain period of time to exterminate some bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings.
In this way, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone to not only be able to train the army, but also to be familiar with the combat environment of Liangguang, and it is also a very good thing for Shen Youlong, that is, it saves the trouble of sending troops to exterminate the mountain bandits, and also ensures the peace and tranquility of Liangguang, why not do it.
And the most important thing is to see how strong Australia is, and how these troops that use firearms to fight are mobilized and coordinated to form a complete set of combat methods.
Shen Youlong was an enlightened person, otherwise he would not have agreed to train a new army of two hundred people, and since he had agreed, he would certainly not be hindered.
What Wei Yan wants to do is to train the army, and then show his hand to Shen Youlong and the officials of Liangguang, which can be regarded as giving them a preventive shot in advance to prepare for the future.
The change of defense of the two forces has its own tasks, so He Yu will not stay in Hong Kong too much in the future, and the first company will officially take the Mermaid to Malacca two days later to join the Blackwater Army stationed there.
It is foreseeable that once the first company and the two forces of Blackwater converge, it will be the end of the aborigines around Malacca City, no matter how obedient they pretend, this time the Malacca Metropolitan Government has made up its mind to clean up these bad people who continue to cause trouble, and return Malacca City to a peaceful environment, only environmentally safe domestic enterprises will invest in Malacca.
