got four cannons, but his subordinates didn't know how to fiddle, Lao Zhang couldn't help but be a little depressed, but this is still a civilian official, although every time he comes to receive something, he keeps it as secret as possible, but hundreds of troops run here, and it is easy to arouse the attention of all parties, so Lao Zhang hurriedly asked his subordinates to load the artillery and immediately withdraw to the barracks.

After returning to the barracks, Lao Zhang and everyone sat together, and Zhang Zuolin asked Sun Liechen first: "Sixth brother, what is the name of this great talent you recommended to me!" ”

"This person's name is Yang Yuting, the word is Lingge, his hometown is in Faku, he is a non-commissioned officer in Japan, proficient in military affairs, and is currently in charge of ordnance in the logistics department, he is a talent!"

The three words Yang Yuting are too familiar to Zhang Tinglan, and the rise and fall of the Feng system actually has a huge relationship with the contradiction between the two people, these two people are Yang Yuting and Guo Songling. They each represent the non-commissioned officer department and the martial arts department, and political struggle is inevitable for any group.

However, the contradiction between Yang and Guo caused uncontrollable consequences, first Guo Songling turned against Feng, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Feng system and almost collapsed the economy. After the death of Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang shot Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai, to a large extent, to avenge Guo Songling, as a result, Yang Yuting left, the old and new factions of the Feng Department were completely separated from morality, Zhang Xueliang's talent was not enough to command the entire Feng Department, so that the decline of the Feng army could not be reversed, two years after Yang Yuting's death, Japan launched the 918 Incident, and the Northeast fell into the clutches of the devil.

In fact, in the entire Feng army, in terms of network prestige and ability, Yang Yuting is the top, if he is still here, 918 may not happen. Zhang Tinglan was still a little excited to see this kind of person, but he was thinking more about how to avoid infighting in the Feng department, especially the vicious infighting that shot desperately.

When he was thinking wildly, a heroic officer of about thirty walked in, Yang Yuting was very tall, with a big square face, and a very military momentum, after coming in, he saluted Zhang Zuolin.

Lao Zhang also looked at Yang Yuting carefully, and saw that the other party's military appearance was neat and well-behaved, and at first glance, he was more standardized than those old brothers, Zhang Zuolin nodded with satisfaction.

"Your name is Yang Yuting, my name is Zhang Yuting, we have fate!" Lao Zhang smiled and asked, "I heard that you studied at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school and know artillery?" ”

"Report to the marshal, the lowly post is a graduate of the eighth infantry class of the non-commissioned officer school, I have learned artillery tactics, and I have used many kinds of artillery with my own hands."

"Very well, then you can show us something new!"

Zhang Zuolin got up and walked out, the big guys followed, Yang Yuting fell behind, and Zhang Tinglan was not far from him.

"Mr. Yang, you are a top student of the non-commissioned officer school, the pride of the sky, the 27th Division is short of talents, the opportunity is in front of you, don't miss it."

Lao Zhang led everyone to a courtyard behind the small school field, where the parts of four howitzers were placed on the ground, and there were cronies and soldiers around them strictly guarded. After Yang Yuting entered the heavily guarded courtyard, he saw the thick cannon barrel on the ground at a glance.

Yang Yuting is an expert in this area, as soon as he saw this scene, he immediately opened his mouth wide, and the thickness of the barrel was about the same as that of a small watermelon, and it looked like a heavy artillery. This is not uncommon among the armies of the great powers, but it is a completely new thing in China.

As a soldier, there is no one who doesn't like advanced weapons, from a cursory look at the parts on the ground, it is a very advanced artillery, Yang Yuting also suddenly felt that Zhang Zuolin's body was tall at this time, this Hu Shuai is really capable, and he can get this kind of good thing.

"Neighbor, let's take a look, can you assemble it?"

Yang Yuting controlled his excitement in front of him, came to the cannon parts, looked at it carefully, and among the parts, he also found an operation manual, although it was in Russian, but Yang Yuting could still understand some of it, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and even some danced.

According to the manual, this kind of artillery is 12.8 times the caliber of this artillery, the upper and lower firing angles are minus 5 to 44.5 degrees, and the horizontal firing angle is 4 to 6 degrees, the whole gun weighs about 1,330 kilograms, and the maximum firing range is 7,700 meters. The performance of this artillery is very advanced, even surpassing the artillery of the Beiyang lineage, and in the field, the artillery of the Japanese army is not necessarily an opponent! ”

When Lao Zhang heard that these artillery pieces were so powerful, he was immediately overjoyed: "Great, great!" Hurry up and assemble the artillery, and let us all see it! ”

Yang Yuting agreed, and found a few clever soldiers, according to the manual, the first cannon was assembled, and then the three guns were also familiar with the road, and they were quickly completed, and the four guns were neatly placed in front of everyone.

Lao Zhang involuntarily stroked the black and cold cannon body, his eyes showed a blazing light, if you want to control Fengtian, and even dominate the three eastern provinces, you can't do without strong military power, these cold guys are Lao Zhang's biggest reliance, and they are also the source of confidence.

"Marshal, this kind of artillery is of the right weight, and in the field, it can play a huge role in the battle of attacking fortified positions. I heard that the Russians also used this kind of artillery, which inflicted great casualties on the Germans on the battlefields of Eastern Europe, and if it could be equipped with this kind of artillery of a regiment, I dared to say that the 27th Division could crisscross the three eastern provinces! ”

Zhang Zuolin was also full of smiles: "Whether you can get a group depends on his ability!" Lao Zhang smiled and pointed at Zhang Tinglan, and Yang Yuting was suddenly confused.

This young man looks like he is not yet twenty years old, but he can follow Zhang Zuolin's side, and his status is not as bad as those old people, and he is definitely an outlier among the 27th Division in terms of seniority. Now that he heard it, it seemed that he got these cannons, and Yang Yuting couldn't believe it, this was a cannon, not a radish and cabbage. The great powers have restrictions on the export of weapons to China, and even President Yuan Da may not have gotten such haode field artillery, why did this young man do this.

"Seven masters, the cannon is a good cannon, but someone needs to operate it, as long as you can train the artillery, I can conjure the cannon!"

"Tinglan, don't brag nonsense, the Russians are not vegetarians, can they succeed once, can they succeed every time? Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if it is exposed, the entire Entente will find us in trouble! Zhang Zuoxiang reprimanded.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Dad, the opportunity will come soon, I will definitely pull up the artillery regiment!" ”

"If you have ambition, Tinglan will be responsible for getting the cannon, and Lingge will be responsible for training the artillery, first practice with four cannons, and you must be proficient in operation." Lao Zhang looked at the big guy and said, "First transport the artillery to the shooting range outside the city, and see how powerful this thing is!" ”

Of course, they couldn't directly pull the heavy artillery to swagger through the market, so they could only disassemble it into parts and transport it outside the city, Yang Yuting was responsible for assembling it, and everything was almost ready.

In order to hide people's eyes, Lao Zhang asked the soldiers to pull out two 75 cannons, first shot indiscriminately, and then Yang Yuting was personally responsible for the operation and aimed the howitzer at the target in the distance.

Zhang Zuolin and the others all held binoculars and watched attentively, only to hear a boom, a 28-kilogram cannonball was launched, the cannonball crossed the sky, smashed heavily on the sand and stones, and suddenly the stones and dust flew all over the sky.

Compared with the 75 cannons, the momentum is simply incomparable, the shot is far, the power is great, a shell will create a crater with a diameter of more than 10 meters, if this is on the battlefield, the surrounding 30 meters will be a river of blood, dead and wounded.

Seeing this, Lao Zhang waved his fist excitedly, obviously very satisfied, Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen were also the first time to see the power of this kind of heavy artillery shooting, and they were also very excited. Yang Yuting fired three more shells in succession, and it became more and more convenient to use, this cannon is indeed a powerful treasure.

Yang Yuting also had a strong interest in Zhang Tinglan, this young man was really unpredictable, and he was able to get such a powerful weapon. It seems that there are a lot of capable people in the world, and I can't think too highly of myself.

As a non-commissioned officer, Yang Yuting naturally has his pride, and he looks down on the turtles of the 27th Division from the bottom of his heart, and now he has to put away that pride.

Lao Zhang immediately appointed Yang Yuting as the director of artillery training, and Lao Zhang also said that as long as the artillery is trained well and reused, Yang Yuting can be regarded as officially entering the group of the 27th Division.

After Shiyan got the artillery, Lao Zhang was even more ambitious and wanted to let it go. The next day, he called all the old brothers to the Tiger Hall, and Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting also attended the meeting and sat at the end.

Lao Zhang glanced at the audience majestically, and then said: "This time I went to Beijing, Yuan Shikai promised to give me a Fengtian Independent Brigade, and our brothers can expand their troops again." However, after thinking about it, I haven't found a suitable candidate yet, so I'm going to discuss it with you today, just to determine this brigade commander! ”

"Seventh Master, what kind of establishment is this independent brigade, and what tasks are they responsible for?" Tang Yulin asked first.

"There are still many old troops of the patrol battalion in Fengtian, and the original patrol police and tax police have also been incorporated into the independent brigade, and some new recruits will be recruited, a total of two regiments, with a total number of 4,000 people, responsible for local bandit suppression affairs!"

After Tang Yulin listened, he pursed his lips, he suddenly lost interest, who doesn't know that the patrol battalion is a rabble, there is not much combat effectiveness at all, this independent brigade is more like a shelter, and all the armed liliang that did not belong to Zhang Zuolin are incorporated into it, so that all the guns in Fengtian will listen to Lao Zhang.

"Seventh Master, I think it's better to let Jing Hui go, just let him be promoted from regiment commander to brigade commander, which is also an improvement." Tang Yulin said this, but there was a hint of ridicule in his tone, obviously looking down on Zhang Jinghui, and at the same time looking down on this independent brigade.

"Fourth brother, this independent brigade is not dispensable, this is the right-hand man of the 27th Division, it is another fist of ours, it will definitely be expanded in the future, there must be people who can stand alone, I am more inclined to you, fourth brother!" Zhang Zuolin said his thoughts, and everyone present all looked at Tang Yulin.
