Training Mountain, according to legend, when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, assigned the general Wu Bing to crusade against Nanyue, he stationed troops here, when he worshipped the mountain god on the mountain, he saw a general prancing horse and horizontal sword, commanding the army of the mountain to practice, and then he suddenly disappeared when he looked closely, and then found that this scene was a mirage, so the mountain was named the training mountain, and it also became the resting place of the army of the Longhua Kingdom after that.

It's just that at the end of the Longhua Dynasty, the situation in the world was in turmoil, and it was originally used to garrison the training mountain of the defenders of the Linzhou capital in Gannan. However, four bandits who occupied the mountain nearby captured this place in one fell swoop when the officers and soldiers were unintentionally stationed.

After the Longhua Dynasty was overthrown and the Liuyang government came to power, the garrison of Linzhou Prefecture repeatedly sent troops to attack the mountain, but failed to achieve victory, on the contrary, it repeatedly lost troops and lost generals. Gradually, the local garrison can only make this terrain steep and surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is still at the junction of land and water in Linzhou Prefecture. It is called a place, and the veritable place of war is given to the bandit families with four surnames to occupy.

Last year, because of the bandit alliance attacking the mountain, Xu Jiajun was pushed to the cusp, Xu Bin kept a low profile. As much as possible, the military and political dignitaries of Gannan Province were not allowed to focus on a unit like him, which was still in the development stage, and could only choose to temporarily cancel this decision.

It wasn't until the news came from the intelligence station set up in Hero City that after Booker returned to the Eagle Country to report the transaction with Xu Bin to the family, this set of scrap Mao Si weapons worth millions of Longyang weapons was loaded and shipped to Longhua Kingdom. At the same time, Xu Bin asked Booker to purchase the things on his behalf, and they were also loaded and shipped over.

Along with this news, there were also eight telegraph operators who had been trained by foreigners. Their return has solved the biggest problem of Xu Jiajun's military order transmission to the greatest extent.

In addition to the intelligence station in the hero city that was in charge of Uncle Du, there were two telegraph operators who specialized in sending information, and the other six telegraph operators who had spent nearly 10,000 years of training by Xu Bin all reported to Xu Bin, the big boss.

With these six operators and the three radio stations that have been brought back at the same time, Xu Bin's determination to take down the training mountain is undoubtedly a little more. A radio station with the largest power that can cover the whole country will be placed in Heifeng Village as a headquarters, and the remaining two low-power radio stations, in Xu Bin's vision, one will be placed in the training mountain that will soon become his territory. There is also one that is Baijiazhai that needs to be talked about openly and honestly after taking the training mountain.

Xu Bin can imagine that once the training mountain is occupied by him, the official army of Linzhou Prefecture, which is worried about his expansion again, will inevitably organize a purge against him. Although there are now two main battalions, Xu Bin, who has thousands of visible soldiers, is not afraid of the advance of the official army.

But as long as the battle around Gannan Province could not be fought for a day, he could not clean up the officers and troops too badly. Or it is very likely that it will attract the encirclement and suppression of Gannan's army, which is not at all in line with his strategy of fishing in troubled waters and low-key development.

If you can't beat the officers and soldiers who are attacking too hard, and you can't let the officers and soldiers always find trouble for themselves, then the incorporation of Baijiazhai has become a magic weapon for Xu Bin to deter the Linzhou capital. If these officers and soldiers don't want to push him into a hurry and attack Linzhou Mansion, where only one security regiment is stationed, then they must be honest.

No one will do anything good in these years, especially when the domestic situation is unclear, these are selfish officials. I won't let my strength be greatly damaged because of the orders above. Therefore, as long as Xu Bin grasps the opportunity properly, then his peaceful evolution of Jihua in Linzhou Capital will be possible and realized.

In his opinion, regardless of whether the Gannan army in Gannan Province can withstand the enemy forces around them who are attacking them. At least Xu Bin wants to put Linzhou Mansion under his control after the war starts. No matter which side Shili is the warlord who will be in charge of Gannan Province in the future, he doesn't want to make it anxious, and he can only acquiesce to the reality that Linzhou Mansion has become his Xu family's military territory.

With the development of this base area, Xu Bin can slowly extend his tentacles to the nearby Fucheng. When he uses the arms he bought last time to form the first integrated division, then he will dare to expand Shili beyond the Linzhou Mansion until he completely takes Gannan Province into his hands. This is a jihua that takes time to complete, so Xu Bin takes every step more carefully.

After deciding to attack the training mountain, in order to grasp the first-hand information, Xu Bin personally led the guard platoon that he had trained for nearly two months. In the training mountain controlled by the four bandit families, a three-day reconnaissance was conducted. Even Xu Bin took people to touch those cottage gathering places late at night, and those people didn't know anything.

This guard platoon, which has only 30 people, selects good soldiers who are loyal to Xu Bin and have their own specialties. The reason why all these people were selected to the guard platoon was that Xu Bin considered training a special force for decapitation and assassination after taking the training mountain. The first batch of special combat personnel will be selected from the guard platoon.

In the past two months of jungle training, Xu Bin only taught these people some sign language, reconnaissance and infiltration, capturing prisoners and setting traps and other combat skills that scouts have.

The purpose of personally leading the team to reconnoiter intelligence is, first, to obtain first-hand information, and second, to test the results of the two-month training. It turned out that these soldiers of the guard platoon, who had adapted to the fact that they could sit and walk freely without the help of lights in the night, still achieved the training effect he expected.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know anything about these four bandit villages and only carried out routine vigilance and sentry, Xu Bin really wanted to do it overnight. directly led the guard platoon and beheaded the leaders of the four families.

As more and more troops under his command grew, Xu Bin also knew that killing too much was not a good thing. Plus the bandit cottage with these four surnames, except for the occasional robbery in the village. They live in the training mountain, and more like ordinary people who have settled here. The four families seem to be at odds, but in the event of an invasion, they will still fight side by side against the enemy.

For the four of them, the infighting is for the distribution of resources in the mountains, and the union is for their own safety. That's even more important, as long as you're not a fool. In normal times, even if the villagers have a grudge, they will be unanimous when they encounter foreign enemies. It is the tradition they have inherited that has kept their four surnames alive here.

In the training mountain, there are not only the caves in the Tibetan soldiers that have been excavated by the training over the years, but also the 10,000 acres of fertile land reclaimed by the tun army, plus there is a vast freshwater lake in the mountain. The four bandit villages live in their own way, but they also have a good time. As long as they guard the pass into the mountain, they don't have to worry about the shortage of supplies, even if the army outside surrounds them for months or even longer.

On the contrary, after reconnaissance, Xu Bin also found that this place is located in Tingdanshui Lake in Lianbing Mountain, not far from the location of Heifeng Village. And there is a tributary in it, which can also pass through wooden boats to the waterway of the Liusha River. It is precisely by relying on this treasure land of feng shui that the four bandit villages have also prospered over the years, and they have not been affected by the changes in the outside world at all.

This is easy to defend and difficult to attack, at least tens of thousands of troops can be stationed, and at the same time, it can also eliminate a good place for outside reconnaissance. If Xu Bin lets it go and wants to find another place, it is estimated that it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

For the officers and bandits, the training of the first line of the mountain to defend the pass, the guard platoon who learned to climb the rock and assassinate at close range, has absolute confidence before the battle starts. Thirty guards stationed at the pass were dealt with. As long as he takes the pass, and at the same time blocks the waterway for these people to flee, and stays in the four bandit villages where he has settled in the training mountain, he will not let him handle it.

As for the defensive line arranged by the four families in the training mountain, it may be a bit troublesome if there is no artillery to capture it. However, the level of the artillery detachment has become more and more mature, and taking this actual combat as a test is undoubtedly the most important opportunity for training troops.

Xu Bin, who returned to the cottage with the guard platoon that had disappeared for three days, was puzzled by all the company commanders and built a miniature version of the training mountain with yellow sand and mud. And the location of the four bandit cottages, as well as the direction of the defensive line, the offensive route, and the route where the opponent may escape, are all clearly and intuitively displayed in front of these commanders who have never seen this kind of sand table.

Knowing this kind of jishu, when these commanders must have it in the future, Wang Erscar and the others felt. After becoming this company commander, they found that in addition to learning to fight, there are really many skills to learn!

With this miniature version of the sand table, Xu Bin asked these future generals of the Xu family army to carry out the war chess deduction that he had told them before. Each company commander served as the red and blue side, and carried out offensive and defensive battles again and again on this sand table. This is a war chess deduction, and it also makes these commanders finally realize that it really makes sense to plan before fighting.

Only when they are prepared for possible situations in the war, then once they are accidentally discovered, they can quickly turn the tide according to the solutions they thought of during the deduction, and lay the foundation for the next big victory.

It was also this war chess deduction that made the soldiers of the Xu family army who liked to pile up a sand table and take their officers to perform the war chess deduction when they had nothing to do. Later, when the generals who graduated from regular military academies at home and abroad conducted this kind of war games, the proficiency completely exceeded the expectations of the officers of those academies.

After these officers submitted their respective attack plans according to the deduction, Xu Bin did not say whose attack plan they would adopt. Three companies of veterans, four companies of recruits, were directly ordered. Except for a veteran company and a recruit company, which decided to stay in Heifeng Village by lot, the remaining five infantry companies, plus the guard platoon of the artillery detachment, went down the mountain overnight and lurked in the dense forest outside the training mountain to stand by. This battle, which is known as the battle for the rise of the Xu family's army, is also about to start when dawn comes!
