Chapter 23: Control

The commanders of the second battalion, battalion commander Zhang Shusen and deputy battalion commander Gong Zhiqiang, did not expect Wang Yuze to be so domineering, and on the first day of their official appointment, they dismissed the two platoon commanders. However, Zhang Shusen expressed unconditional support for Wang Yuze's decision, and Gong Zhiqiang would not raise any objections when he saw this, although some other people were very dissatisfied with this, thinking that Wang Yuze was too arrogant and domineering, but under the condition that the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander had already approved, they were naturally powerless to return to heaven.

The first platoon commander and the second platoon commander of the third company originally refused to admit defeat and wanted to make a comeback. After all, they also have a certain relationship in the battalion headquarters. However, after being sent to the battalion headquarters, it was found that the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander had not even met with them, and directly agreed to Wang Yuze's handling method. And, even more ruthlessly, not only did they remove the two of them from their posts, but also transferred them to the reserves. The future of the two can be said to be ruined. The reserves, in general, are those who have retired from service, where they continue to exert their residual heat. Unless there is an emergency and large-scale conscription is required, the reserves have no chance of re-arming.

In this regard, the first platoon leader and the second platoon leader were like ashes. They only realized now that Wang Yuze was not something that the two of them could shake at all. The two of them also wanted to give Wang Yuze a dismount, and even squeezed Wang Yuze away, but as a result, Wang Yuze was fine, but borrowed the two of them to completely control the third company. The first platoon leader and the second platoon leader both regretted it a little, but it was too late now, and there was no regret medicine in this world. The two of them only had reluctance to change jobs and retire.

When the news reached the Third Company, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Wang Yuze would be able to solve the first platoon and the second platoon leader so easily. Everyone realized that Wang Yuze was really a person who could not be offended. Shi Deyou, the leader of the third platoon, after seeing this, made up his mind and was ready to follow Wang Yuze with all his heart. Shen Ming, the acting platoon commander of the first platoon, and Lei Jiaping, the acting platoon commander of the second platoon, who were temporarily supported by Wang Yuze, naturally did not have two hearts after seeing Wang Yuze's energy. Moreover, the two of them also gained a lot this time. It is reasonable for them to fall to Wang Yuze.

With the help of the three platoon commanders, Wang Yuze soon completely controlled the third company and became the real company commander of the third company, and his prestige was unparalleled for a while. At the same time, in order to promote communication with everyone, Wang Yuze and Wang Wei both took the lead in participating in daily training. Although the task of training is very heavy, when they were at the Army Academy, they also trained like this every day, and there was no problem.

Wang Yuze's move immediately shortened the distance between him and the soldiers. After all, the soldiers are still very fond of officers who can endure hardships together. This made those soldiers who were still resentful of Wang Yuze no longer be dissatisfied with Wang Yuze.

A week has passed, and Wang Yuze and Wang Wei have both fully integrated into the third company. The work of the Third Company was also carried out normally. In addition to daily training, the 3rd Company mainly needs to defend against the infiltration of horse bandits and Ma Jiajun in the north. In addition to the station of the third company, twenty miles to the north, there was a post with a squad of troops. In the event of an enemy attack, they will serve as an early warning. In addition, the 3rd Company will regularly dispatch troops to patrol the territory north of the station. Once horse bandits are found to have entered the western Sichuan control area, they will be eliminated. If there is a large group of enemies, such as Ma Jiajun, then they will hold on and wait for reinforcements and ask for support from the superior troops.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "On a grassland not far north of the station, dozens of targets were set up. The soldiers of the third company began to train with live ammunition every three days. For cavalry, in addition to being able to use sabers, the requirements for marksmanship are also very high, after all, they shoot while the horses are galloping, which is much higher than the infantry.

The soldiers of the third company, riding on war horses, roared past, and the Type 9 cavalry guns in their hands began to shoot again and again, hitting targets fifty meters away, banging, and bullet holes appeared one after another.

Wang Yuze rode on a black war horse, watching the training of the soldiers, very satisfied, and at the same time a sense of pride ignited in his heart. With such soldiers, it is no wonder that the western Sichuan army was able to defeat the Qing court, although there were only three provinces, but the Qing court did not dare to act rashly against western Sichuan.

"Company commander, do you want to show your hands and let everyone see?" At this time, Shi Deyou, the leader of the third platoon, rode a horse to Wang Yuze's side and said with a smile. Suddenly, the soldiers all turned to Wang Yuze. For the soldiers, the only thing that can convince them is strong force. This is especially true for these soldiers at the lowest level.

Wang Yuze knew that if he couldn't show strong force, he might not be able to convince these guys. If it is said that for senior generals, battalion commanders or brigade commanders, the command ability is very important, then for company and platoon-level officers, in addition to the necessary command ability, individual combat effectiveness is also very important.

Fortunately, although Wang Yuze is a little cowardly by nature, he is not weak in terms of individual combat effectiveness. When he was at the Army Academy, his shooting results were also very good every time. Although he was an artillery staff officer in his previous life, he was no less weak in shooting.

"Okay, give me a gun!" Wang Yuze said.

"Here you go, company commander!" Shi Deyou, the leader of the third platoon, immediately took a gun from the soldiers below and handed it to Wang Yuze.

The Type 9 cavalry rifle is a new type of cavalry rifle that was only finalized by the Western Sichuan Army last year, and like the Type 9 rifle used by the infantry, it has become only the equipment of the Western Sichuan Army. The Type 9 rifle and rifle were both copied and developed on the basis of the German-style commission rifle. Due to the good relations between the Kawanishi regime and the German Empire, the Kawanishi Army obtained the design drawings of the rifle. In addition, after the research of military experts in western Sichuan, the rapid improvement was successful, and it was finalized and mass-produced last year. Now, the main forces of the Western Sichuan Army have begun to change their outfits one after another, replacing the old ones with new ones. After the change of clothes, the combat strength of the western Sichuan army will inevitably be improved again.

Type 9 cavalry rifle with a total length of 100020 mm, a caliber of 762 mm, a barrel length of 520 mm, a total weight of 42 kg, an effective firing range of 200 meters, and a feed method of 5 rounds with built-in magazines. Although, this distance is somewhat close, but for the cavalry, it is enough. After a quick 5 rounds, it's time to charge and slash your enemies with your sabre.

With the gun in hand, Wang Yuze found a feeling, and then rode out. The war horse started at a low speed at the beginning, got faster and faster, and finally galloped wildly. At this time, Wang Yuze clamped the horse's belly with his legs, let go of the reins in his hand, raised his riding gun with both hands, aimed at the target fifty meters away, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" After a crisp gunshot, the child flew towards the target. Wang Yuze pulled the bolt, withdrew the cartridge case, loaded it again, aimed at the target, and fired again. The whole set of movements is very fast, as smooth as flowing water. In a matter of minutes, all the bullets in the magazine were fired. This is already a very high rate of fire for cavalry. You know, the rate of fire of the infantry is not much faster than this. Among the cavalry, it is even rarer to be able to achieve this rate of fire. Moreover, what is even more rare is that Wang Yuze's five shots were all missiles, and all of them hit the target.

"Bang Bang!" When it came to Wang Yuze's performance, the soldiers all applauded enthusiastically. Originally, everyone thought that Wang Yuze was just a showman. But now, the military quality of this new company commander is also not weak!

"The company commander is really powerful! What an example for all of us in the Trifecta! The third platoon Changshi Deyou immediately patted his ass. He asked Wang Yuze to show his hand, just to test Wang Yuze's ability. Now, Wang Yuze is really a very tough person!

"It's nothing, as soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army, we should all do this. The people of western Sichuan have provided for us, and we will protect them. How can this work without skilled military skills! Everyone must strengthen their training! Wang Yuze said loudly.

ps: The first shift is here, and there will be another one in the evening!
