Chapter 19 Expansion of the Army

"Look at it all, there's a telegram from Los Angeles this morning!!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, these officers stationed at the border of Guide County arrived one by one, and they all seemed to be stronger than before, and they all seemed to have good food.

"Now it can be determined that Yuan Shiren has decided to send an infantry division south, and the only ones worth occupying in the southern direction are Dongshan, Zhecheng, and Guide, these three county towns, even if the two county towns of Zhecheng and Dongshan do not have any resistance force, but this infantry division going south will definitely divide its troops, and when the time comes, the troops that attack Guide County will definitely not have the strength of a division!"

After reading the telegram, everyone was not worried, they had been holding back for too long in the past few months, and if they didn't fight again, they would really rust.

Although there is daily live-fire training, it is not war after all.

And there are a lot of recruits in the independent regiment, but they haven't been on the battlefield once?

If you rush to the battlefield, will your hands tremble, and will you not be able to play the original training level, so actual combat is the best training.

The location of Guide is very important, the south is Hubei Hunan, and the east is the Dongshan Prefecture area, sending troops from Guide County, so Guide County has also become the largest county in the Central Plains, so it is absolutely impossible for Wang Feng to let this place.

In the past few months, under the leadership of Wang Feng, the economic development within Guide County has expanded rapidly, and has caused a lot of influence in the Central Plains.

It's just that Wang Feng hasn't opened this mouth.

Naturally, because the current Guide county does not have sufficient strength, accepting the other two counties will bring a huge population burden, and only the people of Guide County can enjoy the policy of benefiting the people, while others can't, maybe there will be rebellion.

It's better to just close the mouth.

Of course, if people from nearby towns and villages want to find a job here in Guide County, Wang Feng and his son will naturally welcome it......

"Regiment commander, defensive operations, we have an advantage, there are many mountain roads here in Guide County, if we can take advantage of the terrain, with the help of mines, or heavy machine guns, grenadiers, to catch Yuan Shiren's people by surprise, this battle will be fought!"

"With the current development of Guide County, the regiment commander, the independent regiment must fight, no matter which direction the future develops, the rise of the independent regiment is bound to suffer from the fear of all directions, Hu Nan Wang Chengqian, Los Angeles Yuan Shiren, if they don't go to war, they will only make small moves in other places, if they want to fight, they will fight a beautiful big victory!"

Liu Heizai, chief of staff of the Independent Regiment, was not worried in his heart, in the past few days, he had discussed many times with the regiment commander at the regiment headquarters that if there was an army from the direction of Los Angeles to attack the county seat of Guide, how many troops would be needed.

If it is an elite unit, if the firepower configuration is equal to that of the independent regiment, the terrain of Guide County and the defense factors of the independent regiment should also be considered, and this number was increased to 10,000 by Wang Feng!!

The strength of the independent regiment alone is more than 2,000 people, and with the reserve troops, it is even more difficult to attack the county town of Guide.

What's more, these battalion commanders who are now on one side definitely have more than those soldiers who reported at the end of the year, but for this, the regiment commanders are all blind to this.

"Lao Liu is right, it is impossible for a large army to march on those narrow mountain roads, so as long as we set up ambushes on some key roads, Yuan Shiren's army will be defeated."

"Regiment leader, let's fight, if you don't fight, any cat or dog can pee on the territory of Guide County in the future!!"

Several battalion commanders, but also advocated the war, for no other reason, the current firepower configuration of the independent regiment, compared with other troops, is not worse at all, especially the configuration of heavy machine guns, the regiment commander is almost a bloody capital, with platoons as a unit, each platoon has a Makqin heavy machine gun, and at the same time the 50 mm caliber grenadier has been configured to the infantry company, more flexible individual combat weapons, more powerful firepower configuration, these months, with the increase in the production capacity of the Dangshan Town Ordnance Factory, the configuration of the independent regiment is also slowly moving closer to the Western Yuan Army power.

Wang Feng's eyes circled, and now, he finally has the capital to compete for hegemony in troubled times, whether it is Yuan Shiren in Los Angeles or Wang Chengqian of Hunan, if they want to embezzle the industrial achievements of Guide County, they must carefully weigh the counterattack of the independent regiment.

This is an iron-blooded army equipped with standard armaments, not some bandit army......

"Since everyone thinks the same as me, I don't talk nonsense as the head of the regiment, I know that you boys have made a fortune in the past few months, and the material distribution table sent to me by the Dangshan Ordnance Factory every month, according to the size of your infantry battalions, you can't use so many bullets and rifles, it's a good thing to have more soldiers, but don't forget the training for me!"

Several battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders also had a smile on their faces.

"Commander, I can't hide anything from you......"

"Regiment commander, the first battalion has expanded by at least eight infantry companies now, damn it, Lao Li and I have only gotten six infantry companies until now, Zhou Weiguo's kid, he is stalking at the Tangshan Ordnance Factory every month, and he has more bullets and supplies than us every month."

When Li Yunlong, the commander of the second battalion, heard that the regiment commander had no intention of blaming, he shook out everything, and eight infantry companies, five more infantry companies than the original three infantry companies.

Rao is Wang Feng heard the news, and he was also shocked in his heart, good guy, the eight infantry companies are close to a thousand people, if you add the battalion-level grenadiers, heavy machine gun squads, as well as the communications squad, and the guard platoon at the battalion headquarters, this number will go directly to 1,500 people...

Damn, there are only more than 2,000 people in one regiment, and your fucking battalion is worth one regiment of Lao Tzu!

Wang Feng's eyes stared at Zhou Weiguo, and he took a deep look, it was worthy of being exchanged by the system, beautiful!

The population of more than 50 million people in the Central Plains of the Great Qian Empire is indeed not vegetarian.

The speed at which people are pulled is too appalling.

"Regiment commander, I can't help this, you also know that the first battalion is not only busy training now, but also helping some local villagers to work, and if some construction sites are busy, we also have to help, plus the defense tasks in the region, there are many people, and the division of labor can also be clear."

Zhou Weiguo, the commander of the first battalion, also touched his head and smiled, he didn't want to be so high-profile, but there were too many people, if he didn't accept it, would people arrange it, and I can't blame me!

"Zhou Weiguo, you are going to be the commander of the fucking regiment, eight infantry companies, you are really developed..."

Liu Heizai was naturally happy, these rabbit cubs were even more hidden than originally thought, the strength of the independent regiment is now close to 5,000 people, and this is not counting the reserve troops of the major towns and villages......

If you count it, there are even more troops...

"Leader, this time it's Yuan Shiren's turn to scold his mother, if you let the Los Angeles side know that we suddenly have so many people......"
