Chapter Eighty-Eight: Four Battalions! Four battalions!!

After everyone agreed, Zhang Zuolin and Tu Sanpao chatted for a while and the gossip ended.

This Belarusian "naturalized army" set up a separate 65th Independent Division, with a total of about 2,000 people, under the jurisdiction of the ironclad corps, the independent engineer regiment, the cavalry regiment, the cavalry guards, and the aircraft team. In particular, the armored convoy is even more "outstanding achievements" for Zhang Zongchang. The combat vehicles used by the ironclad convoy are modified from military transport trucks, which can fire from three sides and are extremely fast, and they are Zhang Zongchang's "pioneers"!

In the Second Zhifeng War, the entire Belarusian armored convoy fought from Tianjin along the Jinpu Road to the north bank of the Yangtze River, making great contributions to Zhang Zongchang's repeated melee battles. In January 1925, Zhang Zongchang led Nekaev's advance team of White Russian soldiers to Pukou, and after crossing the river, Zhang Zongchang deployed these spirited White Russian soldiers in front and charged forward. The Jiangsu troops actually saw it and retreated without a fight!

In particular, this army was not afraid of death, the Zhejiang-Feng War broke out, Sun Chuanfang, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the five southeastern provinces, attacked north from the Jinpu line, and Zhang Zongchang's White Russian troops took Fuliji as a base and pounced on Sun's army.

The delicious White Russian soldier carried a brandy bottle in one hand and a rifle with a bayonet in the other, and while drinking wildly, he rushed to kill, and went into battle shirtless, as fierce as a beast! As soon as Sun Jun saw the big foreign soldiers, he first fought timidly, and was defeated one after another under the strong attack of the White Russian army. In Zhang Zongchang's hands, this army has always been a murderous knife! It is also the most combat-effective unit under Zhang Zongchang.

Tu Qianjun nodded after listening to his father's words, he knew about this army. All of them were collected by Zhang Zongchang, and the former Tsarist Russia was defeated, and the family was gone, so naturally it was a day after day, and Zhang Zongchang gave them double salaries and never defaulted, so it was normal for this army to fight and sell their lives. Because they all starved to death without Zhang Zongchang, it was not like those ringing horsebeards who could take refuge in others, so they had to sell their lives!

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, this Zhang Zongchang can be regarded as a precedent for mercenaries who fought among the people. The father and son talked for a while and then went to sleep. The next morning, Tu Qianjun returned to the fourth battalion, and at this time, Tuolong, who was the deputy of the battalion, quietly came to report to him that there were several unknown figures wandering around the fourth battalion last night, but they were caught and ran three.

Tu Qianjun sneered in his heart, he knew that this must have been sent by the Japanese. There were no Japanese instructors in the fourth battalion, and they couldn't figure out their training situation, so it was necessary to send someone to visit the camp. So Tu Qianjun ordered that he would be killed without interrogation.

So far, the four battalions have a total of 220 people in the artillery company, 8 people in the cooking squad, 10 people in the communications squad, and 130 fighters in the rest of the company! plus Tu Qianjun's bodyguards, a total of seven hundred and sixty people!

In terms of equipment, except for Qi Muden, who shamelessly relied on his own generation to occupy five heavy machine guns, the rest of the infantry companies were equipped with four heavy machine guns per company, and the infantry platoon of the artillery company was also equipped with one heavy machine gun. In addition, all infantry platoons were armed with three Japanese 11-year-old light machine guns allocated by Zhang Zuolin! That is, each squad has a Japanese 11-year light machine gun that can be used as a fire support!

In terms of artillery, there are ten Liao 15-year 80-mm mortars and eight 16-year new 150-mm mortars under the jurisdiction of the artillery company! Such equipment is second to none even in An**! Suffer the envy, jealousy and hatred of countless people!

Tu Qianjun looked at the black people on the playground and sighed in his heart! These are my current team! Looking at the officers and soldiers, Tu Qianjun tidied up his military uniform and walked in front of them and said solemnly: "The fourth battalion of our guard regiment, everyone knows the best equipment and the strongest competition in Quan'an, right?!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the whole battalion laughed, this is something that the entire An ** knows.

"But, I don't know if we took so much equipment from Dashuai and whether it was a burning stick!" Seeing that the officers and soldiers under his command were laughing, Tu Qianjun glared at him and said coldly: "At the end of this year and the beginning of next year at the latest, we will go to the battlefield for the first time!" When the time comes, if the battle is in ruins, the brothers in the other troops will laugh at us as a bunch of flowery shelves with beautiful burning sticks! Will you still have a smile on your face?! ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun say this, the smile on the faces of the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion disappeared! Instead, there was a sense of solemnity and a fierce look in his eyes! In fact, there are indeed a lot of such rumors in An**, after all, the equipment won by the fourth battalion is too much and too good! Under the envy and jealousy of other troops, it is inevitable that some unpleasant words will come out.

"Practice hard, remember to strengthen the project of building fortifications!" Tu Qianjun looked at the solemn officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion, but smiled and said, "Let's go out, it's a group of fierce tigers!" Don't embarrass Lao Tzu, the first tiger of the guard regiment! Disband! ”
