Chapter 20: The War Begins

Since it was the first time for the Iron and Blood Army to face a regular army at the division level, he had to do some pacification work, the most important thing was to make a co-ordination of the general direction of the operation and the soldiers and officers of the whole army.

The next thing is how to do it, how to deal with it? How to send troops? Have to do a detailed plan!

"All stand !!"

Wang Feng's sudden shouting also made all the officers present serious, they all knew that the regiment commander who single-handedly founded an independent regiment to take over the county town of Guide was about to give a combat order!!

"From now on, the Independent Regiment of the Iron and Blood Army has officially entered the first-level combat readiness, and the first, second, and third battalions of the infantry will all be transferred to the north of Guide County in accordance with the established battle plan, and the reserve militia units will be activated in the original defense area to carry out defensive tasks!!"

"Open the logistics strategic reserve warehouse in Guide County, provide sufficient ammunition for all combat units, and at the same time upgrade the production of Dangshan Ordnance Factory! 24-hour non-stop ammunition production! ”

Although there are a lot of recruits, he believes that those soldiers of the Daqian Imperial Army are not elite, and the training of the independent regiment is not the same as that of the independent regiment. The training syllabus was developed single-handedly.

Whether it is personal physical fitness or intuition on the battlefield, the reason why the army of the Western Yuan is strong is not only because of the advanced weapons and equipment, but also because of the grasp of the situation on the battlefield by middle and lower-level officers.

Even in the midst of minor changes in the battlefield, new combat plans can be developed.

And in the army of the Great Qian Empire, this is impossible.

The middle and lower-level officers have not even eradicated illiteracy, and even if they are really geniuses, they are very few people, and if they do not have enough theoretical knowledge to learn, they will definitely not be able to become a top general!

"This battle determines whether our iron-blooded army can gain a foothold in the Central Plains of Daqian........."

"Lao Tzu gives you the most superior military salary and the best weapons for the entire Daqian, and this battle must be won!"

Wang Feng's voice was not loud, but it was full of undoubtedness, in the conference hall, everyone stood up and gave Wang Feng a military salute of the independent regiment!!

That night, starting from the county seat of Guide and then to the major towns, the war mobilization order issued by Wang Feng himself also entered thousands of households.

"Brother, are you going to war??"

Eryatou has just returned from school, school-age children must go to school to receive education, wearing new clothes Eryatou, today learned a few new Chinese characters, the teacher said, if tomorrow to write out today's Chinese characters silently, there will be a reward.

On the street, the original county guard troops, I don't know when they started, gathered frantically, and not far away, a carriage loaded with a large number of rifles also stopped.

Liu Heizai smelled a burst of ink, these rifles wrapped in oiled paper, the top of the hideous black muzzle was exposed, and only one rifle after another was seen, which was distributed to the hands of the county guards today.

"In the past, the county guards were all four people with one gun, or even five people with one gun, but now one person has one gun, and they are equipped with 80 rounds of ammunition, is it possible that there is really going to be a war......

"Sir, the teacher in the school said that the school will be closed starting tomorrow, saying that there is an army from Los Angeles to fight."

Liu Heizai reads newspapers and reads books these days, and as the second-in-command of the Iron Army, he also knows a thing or two about the forces in Los Angeles......

"Go back, second girl, your parents are still waiting for you at home."

"Okay, brother......"

Although Liu Erya really wants to join the army, she can't reach her age, even the county garrison, so she can't sign up after she is fifteen years old, and she still needs to wait for a year.

She's definitely going to join the army, those guns, the hideous rifles, the steel weapons, she has to go through it once, or she'll regret it.

At this time, in the north of the city, after nightfall, the infantry units drawn from all over the country were already beginning to dig trenches, this was an encounter battle, the main force of Yuan Shiren's army, there was artillery of no small caliber, and solid trenches could effectively defend against artillery bombardment!!

It was even specially equipped with barbed wire to deal with the cavalry of Yuan Shiren's army, once they rushed over, those barbed wire that kept cutting more and more messy were unfortunately the original fierce cavalry charge and completely destroyed.

The trench digging training of the Iron Blood Army began a few months ago, which is already a basic training for the independent regiment, crisscrossing the trenches, plus the fortifications, especially the positions of heavy machine guns, if used well, can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Even Wang Feng specially exchanged the trench excavation manual from the system, which contained various techniques and trench forms corresponding to various terrains......

"How about it, big cousin, let you go with me as a machine gunner, you didn't listen, look!"

A young machine gunner, talking nonsense with another soldier, Lin Junjie, the machine gunner of the heavy machine gun squad of the first battalion, compared to his cousin, he is outstanding in the village, the heavy machine gun squad of the first battalion belongs to an independent formation, with eight heavy machine guns, as a battalion-level fire support, obviously the firepower represented by these eight heavy machine guns is influential enough.

Liu Xiang didn't know what he was messing with, as if he was folding something......

"Machine gunner, didn't you listen to the class that when the war starts, the first person to kill on the other side is the machine gunner, you have to be careful with me, this is the peace charm of our hometown, and you have to wear it!"

Liu Xiang and Lin Junjie are cousins, the two joined the army together, and now one is the leader of the machine gun squad, and the other is the platoon commander of the second company and the third platoon of the first battalion.

Lin Junjie took the peace charm in the hand of his eldest cousin, does this thing really work?

Forget it, the eldest cousin will never harm him.

"If there is a real war, I am really worried that I will be soft, big cousin, are you afraid of it......"

The bright moonlight sprinkled overhead, the huge fortifications, I am afraid that it will go down for several kilometers, the first battalion of infantry, as the vanguard, has already four companies into position, and in the early morning, the brothers of the second and third battalions will also arrive.

Liu Xiang took a shovel again, and tamped the creeping area in front of him a little more, and now make it stronger, and when the war really starts, maybe he can save his life.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, there are a lot of recruits in our battalion who are like us, and they haven't fought a battle, I heard that this time they came this time, but the elite division in Generalissimo Yuan's army is equipped with artillery! If we put a few shots at our position, won't it be all over......"

"Big cousin, is there really a cannon??"

"But no, how can the elite division of the Great Qian Empire's army not have artillery!"

When Lin Junjie heard that there was artillery, he took the initiative to check the heavy machine gun position under his body, the position of avoiding artillery bombardment, the position of attack, and the position of strategic retreat, all of which must be done well.

"Hurry up and dig it, this thing can save your life!!"

Like Lin Junjie and Liu Xiang's cousins, there are many who have never been on the battlefield, and some are gearing up and eager to try, but more are still a little worried that the process of recruiting to become a veteran still needs a war to baptize.
