Chapter 172: One machine gun per platoon

When the soldiers of the second platoon of the third company repelled the bandits who attacked Dahezhuang and happily returned to Shanghe Town, the first thing they saw was the row of prisoners pressed in the open space in the town. ”

"Not long after you left, platoon commander, a group of bandits came, the captain asked the battalion for advice, and then the general himself came, showing his might, and killing the bandits who came to attack, all of whom were captured prisoners. The general hasn't left yet, and now ......," the man said in a gulliac voice.

Hearing that Wang Zhi hadn't left yet, Xue Jian hurriedly walked towards their station.

There were originally two large families living in Shanghe Town, so the earth fence could be built outside the town, one of the two big families was surnamed Wei, and the other was surnamed Guo, after the Wang Jiajun came, these two families were raided because they were neither talented people nor good people, so their homes were raided, the guilty family members and evil servants were killed, the innocent family members were sent to the camp for resettlement, the maids and servants were sent home with travel expenses, and the homeless part who could not support themselves was also sent to the camp, and the other part was placed on the spot.

The production team and the garrison both lived in the original Wei family's house, and the Wei family's main hall was converted into a conference hall, where Wang Zhizheng parked the production team leader's report on production activities.

"According to the instructions of the general, we have adopted the course of action of cultivating as many seeds as possible, and we have now cultivated more than 800 acres of land, of which 300 acres have completed the sowing work, and if it were not for the previous most of the time spent on building water conservancy, this time would have been faster, and we are confident that we will complete the production target of 2,000 mu before the end of the sowing season in July."

The potatoes brought by Wang Zhi are two to three months ripe varieties, which can only be planted until July, and it will be too late to plant after this time, and there will be no harvest when it is cold, after all, it is now Xiaoice River, and it is used in the lunar calendar, and it will be very cold after October.

The production target of 100 people planting 2,000 acres of land, and one person planting 20 acres. In addition to the cultivator, there is no other machinery, and it is not extensive management, which is a very heavy task, Wang Zhizheng is ready to encourage a few words. Xue Jian suddenly walked in and immediately bowed to Wang Zhi: "Xue Jian, the platoon leader of the second platoon of the third company of the students, visited the teacher. ”

"You're back, how's Dahezhuang doing?" Wang Zhi first asked about the situation in Dahezhuang.

"The bandits who attacked Dahezhuang were cunning, and when they saw the students leading their troops forward, they fled. There was no fighting, and there were no injuries in Dahezhuang. ”

Hearing that there were no injuries, Wang Zhi relaxed a lot, and then asked Xue Jian: "Do you know where this group of bandits came from?" ”

"The students don't know." Xue Jian lowered his head in shame.

Hearing this, Wang Zhi immediately reprimanded angrily: "The bandits are from Yizhi Mountain, only a dozen miles away from Shanghe Town, and there is such a large group of bandits hidden in such a close place, you don't even know how you are the platoon commander." ”

Seeing Wang Zhi angry, Xue Jian was so frightened that he knelt down: "The student should die." Students know what to expect. ”

"Stand up and tell me what the hell is going on."

This is Xue Jiancai remembered that the teacher didn't like others to kneel, and hurriedly stood up: "The student has heard that there are people living in Yizhi Mountain, all of them flee into the mountains and forests to escape the harsh taxes of the imperial court, not only Yizhi Mountain, but in Yanchang Territory, but there are such villages on all the larger hills, usually self-cultivation and self-eating, only occasionally going down the mountain to exchange some salt, students really don't know that it is a bandit nest!" ”

"Confused. The people live in the mountains but are not captured by the officials and soldiers, do you think that the yamen does not know about them? It's not that they are usually farmers and bandits, and the officers and soldiers dare not enter the mountains. ”

This student knows that it is just that the teacher said that the most important thing at the moment is farming when he sent out the production team. Thinking that they would not dare to provoke us with their strength, the students ignored them. Xue Jian explained.

"Don't you dare to provoke, isn't it provoked now, I know about this, you can go!"

After speaking, Wang Zhi immediately took out any door and returned to the camp. There are still so many mountains under the rule, it is time to take care of them.

Back in the meeting hall of the camp, Wang Zhi immediately instructed a clerk next to him: "Go and call the commanders of each company." ”

At present, the regular army under Wang Zhi has expanded to 14 companies, 12 infantry companies, 1 cavalry reconnaissance company, and 1 transport company, with a total strength of more than 2,000 people, and the various production teams scattered in Yanchang and the garrisons in various towns and the garrisons at the main checkpoints have accounted for two-thirds of the troops, and only four infantry companies remain in the camp, but except for Fan Qiuming, who was sent to Yanchang County, the rest of the company commanders stayed in the camp to assist in training recruits. As soon as he heard Wang Zhi's call, he immediately put down the things in his hand and hurried to the conference room.

Wang Zhi doesn't like to talk nonsense, and when everyone arrives, he immediately gets to the point: "I found that in Yanchang, many mountains are inhabited by peasants who have fled into the mountains to survive because of the harsh taxes and taxes of the imperial court. ”

"Teacher, I don't know which company to send to suppress the bandits?" It was Zhao Dawa who asked the question, and only those who came from the Nine World with Wang Zhi would call him a teacher.

"I decided to send three or four companies."

After the expansion of the army, Wang Zhi dismantled all the previous companies, and the veterans and recruits were mixed and reorganized, but the company commanders of the third and fourth companies were still Ding Yang and Chen Ping, so when they heard this, the two immediately showed happy expressions on their faces, and they stood up together and shouted: "I will live up to the teacher's expectations." ”

The other company commanders looked at the two people who were happy with this face, and they all showed envious expressions on their faces, playing in the battle means that they have the opportunity to get combat merits, and there are more opportunities for promotion in the future, but they know that there is a battalion above the company, and now several old company commanders are secretly competing to see who can be promoted to battalion commander first, after all, the teacher once said that the qualifications can only survive to the company commander at most, and being promoted to the battalion commander means that he is capable, and his future career must be smooth sailing!

For Wang Zhi to give the order to suppress bandits, he only needs to move his mouth, but for the people below, he is busy, because the task of suppressing bandits is impossible to determine in a battle, this is a long-term process, so there are many things that need to be prepared.

While busy in the camp, Wang Zhi sat in the conference room and also fell into deep thought.

Because of the establishment of a cooperative relationship with the school city of the third world, the acquisition of thermal weapons is not a difficult task for Wang Zhi, and the reason why he chose spear armor instead of equipping his subordinates with thermal weapons before is based on the difficulty of training and the definition of the identity of his subordinate soldiers.

The training of thermal weapons is not as simple as cold weapons, and the training time is also long, and Wang Zhi's understanding of firearms is only half-understood, and he will not let alone teach others, plus he used to define the identity of his subordinate soldiers as a security force, and at that time he thought that he could do it by himself in big battles such as field battles and sieges, and the soldiers only needed to be responsible for waving the flag and shouting and chasing and defeating the soldiers, so he did not equip them with complex thermal weapons, but chose a simple spear.

But now it is discovered that although the cultivation of spearmen is simple and fast, they have an Achilles' heel, that is, they have no long-range attack ability.

Wang Zhi felt that he couldn't have been fighting in this world in all directions, and many times he still had to let these men do it, and it was impossible for him to take action in such a trivial matter as exterminating bandits like this, since he decided to treat them as regular field troops, he had to strengthen their strength, at least to make up for this shortcoming.

Zhao Lingyun once suggested that Wang Zhi add an extra crossbow to each spearman, but can the effective range of a crossbow be regarded as a long-range attack? And with that financial and energy crossbow, it's better to directly train a unit that takes all AKs.

Now Wang Zhi plans to do this, but instead of equipping all the troops with AKs, it will be too troublesome. Wang Zhi's plan was to train a group of machine gunners and equip each platoon with a machine gun. At that time, each platoon will be composed of two spearmen and a musketeer, equipped with a general-purpose machine gun and two AK47s, the musketeers are responsible for outputting firepower, and the spearmen are responsible for protecting the musketeers and capturing prisoners.

Just do it, Wang Zhi immediately returned to the main world to check some information, and then went to the third world and called Feng Sha: "Come here, there is a big business to hand over to you." (To be continued.) )
