As the saying goes, practice three nines in winter, and practice three dogs in summer. Military training is something that cannot be stopped for a moment, and the garrison division has been known for its strict training since the day it was established, and this winter, Zhang Tinglan has raised the difficulty of training by a large margin, adding many brand-new items.

Training soldiers to fight in the snow, learning to use skis, practicing long-distance running, urban street fighting, hand-to-hand combat, all training must be close to actual combat, focusing on finding and solving problems.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also hired more than 200 Russian soldiers, let them practice with the Feng army as imaginary enemies, and at the same time set up special Russian language courses among the Feng army, requiring the soldiers to learn simple daily conversations, these preparations were aimed at the Russians everywhere, and it was obvious that the intention of preparing for war was very obvious.

Zhang Tinglan knew better than anyone else that there was less and less time left for the Feng army, and if he couldn't quickly have the ability to confront the Russians, he wouldn't want to get anything. In all training, artillery is the most important, and it is also the key to victory.

Zhang Tinglan saw that the soldiers on the school field were seriously training and operating artillery, and was immediately very satisfied, responsible for the command and training of the artillery regiment commander Qin Wei, he was a student of the artillery department of the Baoding Military Academy, more than three years ago, to the outside of the gate to take refuge in Zhang Zuolin, in this era, Baoding Sheng is a piece of gold signboard, Zhang Zuolin values him very much, at that time Zhang Zuoxiang was still the head of the artillery regiment, Qin Wei became Zhang Zuoxiang's subordinate.

Qin Wei has made a lot of meritorious contributions in previous battles, and his military quality is also good, and now he has also been promoted to the position of artillery commander, and he is definitely a cadre under Zhang Zuoxiang.

He was directing the soldiers in aiming training on the school grounds, holding a horsewhip in his hand, staring at the soldiers, and saying nothing if anyone made the slightest mistake. If you go up, you will have a whip, and if you go down, there will be a bruise on your body, which hurts your heart.

As soon as he saw Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan coming, Qin Wei hurriedly walked a few steps and saluted: "Master, you are here!" ”

"Well, the training is very lively, not bad."

"Division Commander, we have so many good weapons. Wouldn't it be a shame if you didn't know how to use it and put it aside as a vase! ”

When Qin Wei said this, he was also excited, as a soldier. There is no one who does not like good weapons, all kinds of artillery from the Russians this time. Look at the whole country. They are all the most advanced, especially those 122 mm howitzers, which are even more lovely.

As long as he has time, Qin Wei has to take a look, and he also knows that the Feng army has already had a batch of heavy artillery, but it is directly under the marshal. They couldn't touch it, and now Zhang Zuoxiang also had heavy artillery in his hands, and the number was far more than a battalion, which made Qin Wei simply ecstatic.

"You can't afford to let up in training. We are surrounded by strong enemies, and if we don't have two brushes, we won't want to stand firm. ”

"I understand, but there is still a problem, the number of artillery in our garrison division far exceeds the scale of a regiment, is the next step to adjust the scale of artillery, otherwise there is only one regiment, and it is a bit impossible to use!"

"Dad, Regiment Commander Qin got to the point, the artillery must be adjusted, but I think it should be adjusted by the entire Feng army, and in terms of establishment, we must make great efforts to rectify it."

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly, it is true that the Feng army has occupied the entire three eastern provinces, carried out large-scale adjustments, unified and reorganized the troops, determined the main battle troops and garrison troops, and unified the equipment system, reduced the logistical pressure, and facilitated the joint operations of all the Feng troops.

During this time, Zhang Tinglan was in charge of Fuyuan, and he did not know the situation here, and Zhang Zuolin had sent telegrams to Zhang Zuoxiang many times, which was to discuss the issue of troop adjustment.

"Yu Shuai has a preliminary idea, he wants to divide the Feng army troops into three levels, including the garrison division, the 27th division, and Wu Junsheng's cavalry division as the first-class main combat unit of the Feng army, abolish the establishment of the 28th division, split it into two garrison divisions, and place them in Dongbiandao and Taonan, and the original two divisions of Jilin and Heilongjiang will be abolished and organized into three garrison brigades, responsible for garrisoning places."

Zhang Tinglan listened to his father's introduction, and couldn't help but figure out Zhang Zuolin's plan in his heart, it turned out that the Feng army had four divisions, and now three divisions are used as the main battle forces, and the 28th Division had a fiasco before, Zhang Zuolin was seriously dissatisfied with the performance of the 28th Division, and took the opportunity to withdraw it, which is also right. However, the dismantling of the 28th Division into two garrison divisions is somewhat significant.

Obviously, the combat effectiveness of these two divisions cannot be compared with the first-class main force, but they bear the name of the division, and most of them are used to accommodate those old people who serve the army, such as Zhang Jinghui, Ji Jinchun, Zhang Haipeng and others.

Now it is stuffed into these two garrison divisions, the level is very high, the power has shrunk, and it is also a common method used by the superiors, as for the abolition of the two divisions in Jilin and Heilongjiang and the formation of three brigades, it is obviously to completely weaken, and even eliminate the remnants of the two places.

Jilin's situation is relatively good, since the elimination of Gao Shifu and the elimination of his subordinates, Jilin only has a garrison division, and Heilongjiang is more troublesome, the two Manchu Yingshun and Ba Ying'e each command a brigade of troops, which is also a potential hazard, so we must find a way to eradicate and weaken, and this kind of reorganization plan is more strongly aimed at them.

"Dad, this plan is not bad, but how should the three garrisons be assigned?"

"Yuting means two in Heilongjiang and one in Jilin, but I have some different opinions on this distribution plan, Jilin's border defense line is longer than Heilongjiang, and the pressure is greater, according to reason, Jilin must have at least two brigades, so that it is enough to use."

This kind of distribution of troops, in fact, is the display of everyone's status in the Feng army, Zhang Zuolin is a well-deserved king of the Northeast, but how to distribute these people, it is very particular, Zhang Zuoxiang wants to fight for two brigades, plus the garrison division, the strength in his hands is nearly two divisions, so Zhang Zuoxiang's shili is the second strongest in the Feng army.

Zhang Zuoxiang is also confident in fighting so hard, Fengjun has been able to develop up to now, Zhang Tinglan has made great contributions, shouldn't he have won enough benefits! Moreover, Zhang Zuoxiang is still the overseer of Jilin, and in terms of identity, he is one piece higher than Wu Junsheng's military assistant, but Jilin's military strength is not as strong as Heilongjiang, and Zhang Zuoxiang's face is not good-looking.

"But things have changed a little bit now." Zhang Zuoxiang said with a smile: "Humble words you got back so much equipment in Russia, especially heavy artillery, the firepower of the Feng army has been greatly strengthened, and the original reorganization plan must also be adjusted, I think two heavy artillery regiments should be established, one will stay in Jilin, and the other will stay in Mukden, and it will be said to be an independent artillery regiment to the outside world, so that Jilin will have a division, a brigade, and a heavy artillery regiment, and the strength will be okay!" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang's method is eye-catching, looking at Lao Zhang's arrangement, the garrison brigade is definitely not the focus of development, even if it is two garrison brigades, it can't compare to the value of a heavy artillery regiment, it can be said that winning a heavy artillery regiment is undoubtedly to highlight the status of Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan's father and son.

And Zhang Zuoxiang is not worried that Zhang Zuolin will refuse, these heavy artillery pieces are all tossed by Zhang Tinglan, without Zhang Tinglan, Fengjun doesn't want to get any of them, and now he has left a regiment for Fengtian, and it is also to strengthen the capital in Lao Zhang's hands, Zhang Zuolin will definitely not refuse.

"Commander Qin, if the heavy artillery regiment can be pulled up, you will be the commander of the regiment!"

As soon as Qin Wei heard this, his face immediately turned happy, the heavy artillery regiment was undoubtedly the most powerful unit in the Feng army, although he was now also the commander of the artillery regiment, but he and the commander of the heavy artillery regiment were completely different concepts, and his status was immediately raised. Not to mention being a regiment commander, even being a battalion commander is a lot of money.

"Thank you for the cultivation of the teacher, you must train hard to repay the teacher's kindness!"

"Put all your energy on training, in the future, you will be the fist of the Feng army, if there are any difficult bones, you have to rush up, smash them and smash them, as the saying goes, you have to be hard to strike iron, if you can't kill the enemy, I will never agree!"

"Rest assured, division commander!" Qin Wei said confidently.

"Commander Qin, you organize, let's go to the shooting range to see the situation of live ammunition!" Zhang Tinglan put forward his request, and Qin Wei hurriedly nodded in agreement.

This time they pulled a total of three types of artillery, including two 122-mm guns, two 76-mm mountain guns, and two grenadier mortars.

The muzzle of the black hole, facing the target in the distance, Qin Wei commanded the artillery soldiers to act quickly, aiming at the target, loading the shell, the one hundred and twenty-two mm howitzer took the lead in firing, the huge shell roared and smashed into a stone mountain in the distance, a shell fell, and suddenly the mountains and rocks splashed everywhere, within a radius of dozens of meters, they were all strongly affected, obviously on the real battlefield, this is a huge no man's land.

After the calibration was carried out, the artillery soldiers quickly adjusted, and another three-shot rapid fire came, this time much closer to the target, and the scattered shrapnel of the rubble had completely covered the target, showing the close cooperation between the artillery and the artillery.

Then there was mountain artillery and mortar shooting, the same lethal effect is very good, these Russian-made weapons, don't look known for being stupid and black, but the performance is not worse than the equipment of the Germans, and the Feng army is more and more accepting of these Russian-made weapons.

Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan were not more concerned about the strong power, but the cooperation of the three types of artillery in front of them, forming a dense firepower network from far, middle and near, and the damage to the enemy would surely increase exponentially, Zhang Tinglan seemed to be able to see the scene of the opponent falling to the ground and dying under the attack of the artillery, and they were very satisfied with the training of the artillery.

Just when the army was training intensively and effectively, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram inviting Zhang Zuoxiang to Fengtian to discuss the matter of reorganization. (To be continued......)
