Chapter 43: The March

Wang Maoru thought about it, his troops were going to build a supervised airfield, if there was any danger, it would definitely be a sudden engagement, a surprise attack by bandits, and Makqin's firepower in defense was stronger, but the rapid operation of the Hatch Chase machine gun was stronger, and it seemed that the Hatch Chase machine gun was more suitable now. Then he asked, are there any other machine guns (the name of the machine gun in the early years of the Republic of China was machine guns)? The comprador frowned and said: "Yes, there is, but this gun is very small, and it is also a machine gun, a Danish Lexar light machine gun." ”

The Lexar light machine gun is the world's first light machine gun Danish Madsen machine gun, which is now translated by compradors as Lexar machine gun.

"Madsen machine gun?" Wang Maoru was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Quickly show me, how much, how much you have here, how much I want." ”

The comprador laughed and said that I don't have much here, but there are in the Tianjin general treasury, how much do you want to buy, adult? Although this thing is much cheaper than Makqin, it also costs 2,500 taels of silver, 8,000 taels of silver for Makqin, and 7,200 taels for a Hatch Chase machine gun. Wang Maoru said: "Madsen machine guns give me eighty, Hatch Chase four, all the bullets, I want the lowest price, don't cheat me, we are business partners." The comprador was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll do the math for you." He crackled and calculated with the abacus, and said: "The gun is 228,000 taels, and the bullets are distributed to two bases, but if it really starts, it will definitely not be enough, so Madsen has ten base bullets and Hatch Chase has twenty base bullets." The total is 280,000 taels. ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "What is this, Madsen is only ten bases, not enough, give me twenty bases, Hatch Chase thirty bases, 300,000 taels, how about it?" ”

The comprador smiled: "Okay, Boss Wang, you are still generous." ”

After ordering weapons, Wang Maoru immediately equipped the garrison, two Madsen machine guns for each infantry squad, and two batches of mule-drawn ammunition and military rations. The fire squad accompanied four Hatch Chase machine guns, this machine gun is large in size, heavy in size, in order to alleviate the pain of soldier transportation, the fire squad is equipped with twelve mules and horses, after the reconnaissance squad returns, the entire garrison has a new look, and the flight team garrison brigade has become the first mule and horse unit in the Republic of China, and the friendly troops who look at it are envious.

Only two planes at the Nanyuan Airport of the Ministry of War were operating normally, and the rest were either broken down or for other reasons, so they could only be transferred to the Ministry of Communications to assist. Wang Maoru knew that this was the War Department's disguised merger of the flight team into the army and the extermination of the Bailang bandit army, but Liang Shiyi did not work against the War Department, he asked the flight team to assist, but Liang Maokun, the head of the flight section, was sick...... Wang Maoru personally led the team. At this time, the number of planes in the flight team has increased from four to eight, and for maintenance and maintenance, only six aircraft were taken away for the mission.

However, the flight team garrison brigade, a team of more than 900 people, carried a murderous E1 rifle when they were about to set off, which was a fast gun, waist uniform, armed belt, duffel bag, more spirit than the Beiyang elite, if it weren't for the five-color military emblem on the big cap and the five-color flag on the epaulettes, I thought it was the foreign ** team entering China.

The soldiers of the airport garrison brigade, dressed in coquettish military uniforms, came out for the first time for the first time after two months of hard training. They first got on the train and went south to Kaifeng. After coming to Kaifeng, I rested for five days, and the garrison team had no, and I wiped the plane every day. This flight was led by Luo Haiquan, and in addition to the five pilots, he also brought six teenagers to be pilot students, which made these six pilot students have had enough fun in the past few days. When these six schoolchildren saw Wang Maoru, they called Wang Maoru a little embarrassed, and he ordered, don't call the master in the future, call Mr., the Republic of China, no one is someone else's master, I saved you, you are my students. Several teenagers immediately changed their names to Mr. and Mr., only to see Luo Haiquan's eyes stunned.

Now that the fuel tank of the plane has increased, the flight distance is several times farther than two years ago, and the plane flies every day, assisting Duan Qirui in encircling and suppressing Bai Lang, which has helped a lot. Although the flight team arrived in Kaifeng, but the pacification of Duan Qirui at this time in Anhui mobilized troops to encircle and suppress, in Kaifeng is the former town guard Zhang Zhenfang, Wang Maoru immediately went to pay a visit, but learned that Zhang Zhenfang fell ill and thanked the guests, Henan was in chaos. This Zhang Zhenfang suppressed Bai Lang unfavorably, for fear of being questioned by his cousin Yuan Shikai, and he couldn't get sick in the opening package, and now Henan can't find a responsible person. Because of the Bai Lang rebellion, the people's livelihood in Henan was also harmed, and the refugees in Kaifeng City were flooded, and the brightly dressed members of the flight garrison did not even dare to go out on the streets, for fear of being surrounded and begging. Wang Maoru ordered the garrison not to go out, but what he didn't expect was that there were hundreds of refugees outside the garrison gate who said that they wanted to join the army to beg for food.

This made Wang Maoru have a headache, locked aside and said it was better to take it, Wang Maoru glared at him and scolded: "You know a fart, I accepted these hundreds of people today, and I can come thousands tomorrow, and tens of thousands the day after tomorrow." Alas, in troubled times, as long as people have a way to survive and a hope, they will move towards this. Don't you see that there is not even a good porridge in Kaifeng City now? ”

"And what about these refugees?" Lock asked.

Wang Maoru thought for a while and said with a smile: "You sue them, now that the Northeast is switching, if you want to survive and go to the eastern part of the country." ”

"Yes."

A few days after a few days in Henan, Wang Maoru received an order to go to the front line to build an airport in Gong County, Henan. However, he suddenly received an order that the Bailang bandit army had entered the county seat of Gongxian in Henan Province due to the attack of the Seventh Army Division in Shandong, and urgently transferred troops from various places to support Gongxian.

And the Beiyang Army, which is closest to the contribution, is actually Wang Maoru's unit of the flight team garrison brigade. At this time, as soon as Qirui arrived in Kaifeng, the Bai Lang army attacked the county seat of Gongxian and temporarily held Gongxian under the resistance of the Gongxian militia. Other armies were also hurriedly supporting Gongxian, so Duan Qirui asked the garrison brigade to go to support first.

In Henan, the soldiers were unfamiliar with the place, so the soldiers found a local guide and went to Gongxian County along the official road to support. But I didn't want this guide to be Bai Lang's person, and after coming to Gongxian Official Road, he was ambushed by Bai Lang's bandit army in a mountain stream.

After a few shotgun bumps, the Bai Lang bandits rushed up with broadswords and spears. When the garrison brigade encountered the enemy for the first time, it was inevitable that it would panic, and several recruits suddenly wanted to run, Wang Maoru raised his hand, and his pro-soldier team, which was composed of a pro-soldier team from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, led by Suo, immediately walked to the middle of the army. These pro-soldiers each had two box cannons, and whoever put down their guns and wanted to run away was shot at them, killing seven or eight panicked recruits.

"Grandma's, should the deserter be killed?" Wang Maoru shouted at the top of his voice with a box cannon, looked back left and right, and shouted: "Listen to my orders to all classes, prepare to shoot." All light machine guns, give me this wave of people to kill Li Delin"

"The subordinates are here." Li Delin ran over and said.

"Listen to my orders, lead the thirty-first, thirty-second, thirty-third, and thirty-fourth classes to retreat and form a second line of defense."

As he was talking, the light machine guns of each squad took the lead in firing, this Madsen light machine gun is the first light machine gun in the world, and the strong firepower continuity made the Bai Lang army with a long knife immediately suffer a lot, and the twenty or so people running in front of him were immediately reached through the sieve. Bai Lang's first offensive immediately fell into decay.

Seeing the results of the battle, Li Delin disdainfully said to the bandits: "Captain, this group of people doesn't need our two lines of defense, right?" ”

"What nonsense, I asked you to build a second line of defense to prevent any more deserters, you were temporarily promoted to the captain of the gendarmerie, and your squad is now the gendarmerie. Those who retreat without permission will be killed. ”

"Yes," Li Delin replied.
