Chapter 11: The Final Step
At this time, a few volunteers also ran over, and the two sides immediately became a mess. There weren't many brothers in the Volunteers who came to help, only four or five, but they took advantage of it, that is, everyone had a stick in their hands! Most of those training soldiers were empty-handed, which really suffered a lot of losses, plus they didn't seem to be so resolute when they went up, and they were really tired, so although there were more than 30 people, they were beaten back again and again for a while.
Duan Qirui is quite experienced in dealing with this kind of scene, and before the person arrived, he took out the whistle and blew it, and soon the two sides of the fight who were a little calmer stood aside, and then pulled away those who were still not calm.
Small clashes are a very normal thing in the barracks, not to mention that the troops here originally came from three places, and they were from one barracks, and they were able to fight if they arrived. Commander Yang certainly knew that, and he didn't think it was a bad thing.
Soldiers sometimes have to be a little bloody, and the soldiers who feel angry and dare to shoot are the ones who are good. Thinking about military regulations at every turn, and reporting to the official if he is a little aggrieved, it is absolutely impossible for such a soldier to go to the battlefield.
Understand and understand, and deal with it or you must deal with it.
He saw this conflict very clearly from the beginning to the end, so he didn't need to investigate, and looked at the results first. There were only five or six volunteers in the battle, and there were more than thirty soldiers in those groups, but now they were all lying on the ground. Only one brother of the volunteers was knocked to the ground, and after seeing Yang Xiaolin appear, he stood up again, his body was straight.
Yang Xiaolin knew that he was the one who did it first, so he didn't say any nonsense, and pointed: "Lock him up for me, and lock him up for three days." What should the others do, what should they do! ”
The volunteer who started first has been locked up, and the people who fought have nothing to say, Commander Yang said that he can go, and it would be a fool not to run far.
Yang Xiaolin walked up to the soldier who was knocked down first, and this guy hasn't gotten up yet: "How is it?" Do you take it now? ”
"Not convinced! He sneaked up on me! ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "What's your name?" Where are the people? ”
The soldier didn't answer right away. Slowly stood up. Looks like that punch was really heavy. If you think about it, you know that when you are surrounded by people, you take the initiative to punch it, and when you shoot, you must go all out, and put down one first.
His body shook several times before he stood firm, wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth: "Report to the commander, my name is Luo Naijun, a native of Yancheng, Jiangsu." ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "If you can come here, it means that you are a man, but courage is not enough." Can you write? ”
Luo Naijun nodded: "Yes." ”
"Okay, you will be locked up for three days and copy the military regulations a hundred times."
Luo Naijun wanted to say something in the back. But his mouth moved twice and he didn't speak. Yang Xiaolin turned around and walked for a while, and then his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at him again: "If you have time, you should think about why you were punched down just now." ”
A team of guards escorted Luo Naijun down, this kind of thing, just punish the people who took the lead in making trouble on both sides, there is no need to deal with all the people involved.
Duan Qirui immediately came over and said, "Commander, that kid used to be the first mate of the Haian ship of the Nanyang Fleet. ”
Yang Xiaolin was stunned when he heard this, the Haian ship was a gunboat of the Nanyang Naval Division, and the reason why he remembered this ship. It is a cold case in history that this ship is an unsolved case in history, after the Xinhai Revolution in history, the Haian ship participated in the uprising, and there is no news after that, and no one knows where the ship went.
In the 80s, there was a group of idle scholars who studied this matter. However, due to the passage of time, after several years of research, I have not been able to figure out what the final outcome of the Haian ship is, and the ship seems to have disappeared mysteriously.
Hearing that Luo Naijun was the first mate of the Haian ship, he immediately became interested.
Duan Qirui continued: "They also participated in the uprising in Wuchang last year. You also know what happened later, the revolutionary army wanted nothing, and they couldn't find a place to hide after being hit by the paparazzi! The Haian ship also came out and fired a few shots at us. After being blown up a few shells, he turned around and ran. ”
Yang Xiaolin asked, "The first mate is here, what about their ship?" ”
Duan Qirui smiled: "After their ship was injured in the artillery battle, Sun Wen didn't have the money to repair it, and he couldn't even pay his military salary." Later, the captain was also killed by a cannonball, and there were more than 40 of the more than 200 people left, according to this Luo Naijun, there was no military pay for more than 40 of them, and there were no shells, and they would die if they fought again, so they drove the ship to Shanghai, found a business as a cargo ship and sold it, and after getting some money, they didn't hide it, and sent a copy to the families of those who died, and they broke up the rest of the group. ”
Yang Xiaolin was stunned for a while, and he really didn't know what to say. The gunboat was sold as a cargo ship, and it is estimated that only in this special era can someone do such a thing. Do you blame these soldiers? What do you let them do when they don't see hope? The ships of the Navy are equivalent to the flag of the Army, and who wants to do such a thing until complete despair?
"When this Luo Naijun's confinement is full, bring him to see me."
Commander Yang is also planning to reorganize the navy, although the warship is still a distant matter, but the training of soldiers must begin immediately. Originally, he was going to select a part of the navy from among these soldiers, and since Luo Naijun used to be in the navy, it was the best.
Although he had just violated military regulations, military regulations were dead. Luo Naijun dared to stand up for his brothers at that time, at least to show that if he became a commander, he would not be disgusted by the people below.
Duan Qirui said: "Commander, two more hills are the arsenal we have established, and after the Germans' machines arrived, I pulled them into this big mountain, and arranged guards within a radius of dozens of miles, and there were special troops to defend them. ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded, Duan Qirui did a good job, the production capacity of the arsenal must be kept secret, especially when the tanks began to be manufactured, not only the Russians had to be concealed before they showed up, but even the Germans who cooperated with them had to be concealed.
Only others don't know that driving out by yourself can have a deterrent effect. Not only to frighten the old man, but also to make the British afraid.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
The arsenal began to operate before the Germans brought the machines, and Lao Yuan moved all the small arsenals in his hands here, and also moved some of the machines in the Hanyang Arsenal, and the production lines dismantled by the Volunteers were also reorganized in this place. When the Germans' machines were shipped again, the scale of this arsenal was really something that Yang Xiaolin himself did not expect.
The machines roared in the huge mountains, and the valley seemed to be quiet dozens of miles away, and when you stepped in, you found that the workers and technicians inside were busy. Zhou Tong's hands were all oil, and he didn't shake hands with Yang Xiaolin while wearing a pair of gloves, but he didn't realize the two black marks on his face: "Commander, as long as the machines here are fully operational, we can manufacture all kinds of artillery now." If we ensure that the supplies are sufficient, we can arm two divisions in a month! All according to the latest standards of our volunteers' armament. ”
Arming two divisions a month is not too fast. But for an arsenal that has just been formed, it is already very satisfying.
Zhou Tong continued: "With our current venue, both in terms of scale and equipment, not to mention in Asia, it is second to none in Europe. But our resources can't keep up, and the production materials are often out of stock, aluminum, copper, and if the combat vehicle is really developed. I need a lot of steel. ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything when he listened, and took down a submachine gun from the conveyor belt, this kind of gun was improved according to the feedback from the Germans on the battlefield last time, and it was formed.
The submachine gun is like a broadsword. It is also being prepared to be equipped into the troops. Commander Yang knew that in World War II, there were two ways of close combat that were very desirable, one was the pistol and knife of the Eighth Master, which could be said to be a quick success, and the Eighth Master relied on this method to fight hand-to-hand with the well-trained Japanese army.
But there is a downside to this approach. It's just that it's hard to form a fit, and there's not much room for quick improvement. It's a law.
Another way to combat in close combat is to equip a submachine gun with grenades! This was used by the Germans during World War II, and it was much more mature than the tactics of the Eighth Master. It is possible to form small groups of firepower, and as the quality of the soldiers improves, the power of this tactic also increases.
Commander Yang took the gun in his hand a few times: "Don't produce the rest of the equipment first, the current priority is to produce ammunition!" Just our gun, a magazine of thirty rounds, suddenly a few times to run out, a soldier to launch a charge with at least three magazines, this is nearly a hundred bullets! And the thousands of artillery pieces in Beijing, all of which are scrapped without shells. ”
Zhou Tong didn't speak, the machines were all here, and the resources were not enough to drive, which was difficult for him to accept. However, he also knows the current situation, resources are hard goods, China can't take them out now, it can't take them out, before breaking the blockade of the British, China must be lacking a lot of things, in such a situation, we must make appropriate trade-offs.
It's a difficult step, but once it's overcome, China will be on its way to the success he's been seeking.
Yang Xiaolin said: "Zhou Tong, at this stage, we must ensure that the redressing of the troops that have been included in the battle sequence is completed as much as possible. Then the rest of the troops can wait a little longer, and it is not impossible to fight with old-fashioned rifles. Don't worry, as long as you give me plenty of ammunition, I can defeat the Russians! When we win, we will say that the problem is solved! Remember what I told you when you first came back? ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled at Zhou Tong: "We will go to victory together!" Now it's the last step. ”
Zhou Tong nodded: "Don't worry, Commander, I know how to do it." ”
In mid-June, the Chinese side continued to receive information from Mongolia, and more and more Russian troops entered Mongolia, and so far it seems that it has been possible to determine the formation of 31 divisions, as well as a large number of troops that cannot be determined to be from Russia.
The transportation line built by Lao Maozi is getting closer and closer to the Great Wall, and it is believed that when the Russians build this line, the war will start immediately. The eyes of the world have once again turned to China, and from the analysis of the current situation, the situation of the Chinese is not optimistic.
The lack of weapons and ammunition in China has not been fundamentally improved, and even the front-line forces are seriously insufficient. Everyone knows that Yang Dagui is training in Yimeng Mountain, but can the troops in Beijing gain time? (To be continued......)
