【191】The Three Armies of the Galaxy Shadow Shake (19)

At Yao Fan's instigation, Xu Jianyin agreed to continue to work for Yao Fan as the general office of the Shandong Machinery Bureau.

Yao Fan was overjoyed, the toad gasped, and changed the name of Shandong Machinery and Industries Group.

"Brother Xu, in the future, you will be the president of NORINCO Group, and the central government will also send political cadres to the bureau to assist the bureau in implementing political supervision and institutional expansion, adding workshops at all levels, and setting up special technical departments, scientific research departments, and television teaching and training offices.

The central government will also give you confidential technical documents, including "fitter technical manual", "fitter grade technical standards" and other training materials, you have to organize the technical personnel of the machine qì bureau to study in their spare time, all technicians must be examined, after the evaluation of professional titles, according to the level of salary. You have to remember that all technical books are classified and must not be leaked. ”

Xu Jianyin had a long conversation with Yao Fan, and he was struck by the grand vision promised by Yao Fan, and was deeply fascinated by Yao Fan's personal charm and oratorial style. But Xu Jianyin's main motive comes from an impulse to die for his confidant. Before Yao Fan, no one would have had such an understanding to dialogue and discuss with him, Ding Baozhen valued him so that he could do foreign affairs, and the Manchu bureaucrats valued him because Ding Baozhen used him very much, and all of them were mutually exploitative relationships.

But from Yao Fan, Xu Jianyin felt a kind of cordiality, a kind of understanding, and a kind of care like a close friend. When Yao Fan and he installed the equipment of the machine bureau, Xu Jianyin had this kind of intimacy, and now Yao Fan has become the chairman of the commune, and he still feels so cordial, which is a comrade-in-arms between engineering and technical personnel.

"Chairman rest assured, I, Xu Jianyin, am willing to show my strengths and contribute to this revolution. At present, the imitation of the British Henry Martini rifle has made small achievements, samples have come out, and bullets can also be produced, but the quality of the products is indeed not high. ”

Yao Fan said with relief: "Brother Xu did a good job, but the Henry Martini rifle is of little significance to our revolutionary army, we have more advanced rifles." For now, I hope that you will be able to build an excellent machine shop to produce spare parts for our army's rifles, and to reload our army's leftover bullets.

Brother Xu, don't underestimate this work, our army's rifle is a unified standard, which means that the parts you produce must meet a unified standard, that is to say, to achieve standardized production, the same accessory, to be installed on any gun can be used, this kind of production is by no means a simple small workshop processing, but needs to be quality control throughout the production process, the specific production management mode is on the book, the central government will give you the book, and will also transfer the new machine to you.

As for the reloading of bullets, it is even more troublesome, our army's bullets use smokeless gunpowder, and the design of the primer is also very complicated, and it is industrially mass-produced.

Judging from your ability at this stage, the most likely work is to repair the miscellaneous guns of the Qing army captured by our army, and to produce black powder and lead bullets for use by our militia units. ”

Xu Jianyin listened carefully to Yao Fan's explanation, and the two discussed for a long time.

After leaving the Bureau, Yao Fan was in a good mood and went straight to the General Staff Headquarters in Jinan City.

Soon after returning to the General Staff, Yao Fan received a telegram of victory -- The southern route operation scheduled to begin today had been completed, and Wang Guangxing led the 1O Regiment to cooperate with the 11th Regiment of Luo Qiren and the Xi Dahu Cavalry Battalion, which had taken Yishui, two days after taking Juxian, to jointly attack, and completely defeated the Qing army led by Liu Yulong of more than 5,000 people in the field battle in Yizhou City, which is the northern part of today's Linyi, and captured most of the opponent's 8 infantry battalions, 3 cavalry battalions, and 1 flowering artillery battalion.

"Yay!" Yao Fan secretly clenched his fists.

Li Jun asked: "Chairman, Wang Guangxing and Luo Qiren are now urgently calling to ask whether their two regiments should continue to attack Linyi, or withdraw to Yishui and Juxian with prisoners and captures. ”

"What do you think, manatee?" Yao Fan asked.

Li Hainiu said: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Yizhou!" ”

Yao Fan shook his head: "The Yizhou area is too big, the surrounding traffic is vertical and horizontal, and it is easy to be attacked from three directions, east, west and south, and the current strategy is to give priority to going north, so we don't have to stretch our hands too long in the south."

This time, Xi Dahu's cavalry team is very accurate, so that we can find a field opportunity to completely defeat the Qing army, which is very good, if Linyi is taken, I am afraid that the three regiments on the south road will not be able to recover it, and once there is something in the base area, it will not be able to deal with it.

At present, the most important thing is to consolidate the areas that have been occupied, and start land reform, Yishui, Juxian, Rizhao, and Zhucheng are areas where the task of land reform is very heavy, and I don't think it is appropriate to go south for the time being and provoke those southern gentry. ”

Li Hainiu nodded and said, "In the final analysis, we still have too few troops, and if we attack from all sides, we will make too many enemies." ”

Li Jun said: "I agree. In the previous battle on the southern route, the Ming army suffered heavy losses in the field battle, and was annihilated and captured by us, more than 10,000 people, which is the strength of more than 20 battalions! Cao Guisheng's 12th Regiment also defeated five battalions of the Ming Army defending the city in Rizhao, and today the 1O Regiment and the 11th Regiment defeated the Qing Army that went north from Linyi, and the Qing Army on the South Road currently only has about 20 battalions left in the Ming Army.

At present, as long as the road of Yishui, Juxian, and Rizhao is held, the Qing army in northern Jiangsu has no ability to counterattack at all. However, if we continue to move south and enter the North Jiangsu Plain, where water networks are intertwined and roads are complicated, the strength of the three regiments will inevitably be scattered, and we may see that something will happen. ”

Yao Fan stood in front of the map, turned his gaze from the bottom, and finally pointed to the top of the map and said, "It is impossible for the Ming army to have twenty battalions on the South Road.

Since we crossed the Yellow River on the North Road, the Qing army panicked. The Communications and Intelligence Committee dispatched spies disguised as merchants to northern Jiangsu, and reported that at least ten battalions or more of the Ming army had gone north by boat, and that the defense of northern Jiangsu should be extremely empty at this moment.

Now that the Qing army has been destroyed, there are still seven battalions of the Wuyi Army transferred from Hubei plus the remnants of the Ming army, Jiangsu has been completely undefended, and the Qing government wants to use the empty Jiangsu to attract our attention, hoping to make us waver in the strategy of going north, and divide the troops to eat Jiangsu, in order to get a respite. ”

Zhou Si, deputy commander of the First Army, said excitedly: "The chairman is wise! We don't have a shortage of land now, so we don't have to be fooled at all. In accordance with the principle of our army's operations, the first priority is to destroy the enemy's living forces, so for the time being, we should instead speed up the pace of our northward march and increase our attack on the Beijing-Tianjin area. ”

Yao Fan said: "According to the information that Bai Xiaoqi and they heard, the Qing army has gathered more than 30,000 troops of the Green Battalion in the north, which is mainly used as a city defense force. They even transferred 20,000 troops from the Eight Banners from the northeast, plus more than 4,000 Mongolian cavalry recruited, plus more than 10,000 Huai troops stationed in Tianjin by Li Hongzhang, the total strength has reached more than 60,000. The Qing government signed a traitorous treaty with the British, and it is estimated that it will be able to pull out more than 10,000 cannon fodder troops in a short period of time, plus more than 5,000 Ming troops who went north by sea......

Comrades! When we go north this time, we have to deal with an enemy force of 80,000 men, which is eight times the size of our First Army! Where is the main battlefield? There is no doubt about it! ”

Li Hainiu opened his eyes and said, "Chairman! Shall we transfer a regiment from the South Road? ”

Yao Fan said heavily: "Yes!" I think I can transfer two regiments up.

Yuan Guanghai, the 15th Regiment stationed in Zhucheng as the general reserve, ordered them to move to the northwest and come to Jinan to garrison, and Wang Guangxing of the 1O Regiment was very capable of fighting, so let them also come up and follow the First Army, responsible for logistics and security along the road. ”

After speaking, Yao Fan immediately ordered the communication telegraph officer in the staff department, saying: "Cui Guangwen, immediately send a telegram to all departments!" ”

"Yes!"

When Yao Fan finished dictating the content of the telegram, Li Hainiu immediately said to Yao Fan: "Soldier God! Chairman, I don't think it's too late that the First Division will immediately leave Jinan City and cross the river to the north, and the First Group Army will attack Baoding, Tianjin, and Beijing in three directions near Cangzhou, and the three routes will respond to each other. ”

Yao Fan nodded heavily: "Without further ado, immediately inform Xiao Chukai that all units of the First Division will cross the river north in turn from the afternoon, and the river crossing will be completed within two days." Tomorrow at noon, the headquarters of the First Army and the General Staff must cross the Yellow River and be stationed in Qihe County! ”

……………………

Although there is no rain, the Yellow River is still more than a mile wide, and this mother river of Chinese civilization has generously fed the Chinese for tens of thousands of years and continued the Chinese civilization from generation to generation.

Because of the strong wind, white waves rose in the yellow waves on the river, and the big wooden boat that Yao Fan was riding on struggled to move forward under the helm of four paddlers and an old man. In the river, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and the space around the boat was all ...... Surrounded by the sound of the water, the boat seemed to be a small leaf in the river, which could be crushed at any time.

Yao Fan's heart swelled with a sense of generosity and tragedy, feeling that this is a long journey, and in the new time and space, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will also kick off.

On May 29, the First Army took Texas along the way, and before it could attack, the more than 2,000 green battalions defending the city suddenly opened the north gate and fled abandoning the city.

On June 3, the main force of the First Army going north encountered most of the Qing army outside Cangzhou.

"Chairman, the Third Division Hu Guangting Department reports! The main force of the Qing army appeared in Botou Town! The 3rd Division sent six reconnaissance companies to carry out a feint reconnaissance, judging that the opponent had about 20,000 troops, and the horses and artillery were innumerable. ”

Yao Fan's base camp was located in Dongguang County, and he raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark.

Yao Fan struggled for a moment, and said to the guard Niu Hu: "Go to my bedside, there is a backpack with a cigarette and matches in it, you go and get it." ”

"Chairman, order Hu Guangting to build fortifications on the spot, it's dark, and it's important to prevent the Qing army's horse team from attacking the camp." Lehi Niu said. rg
